What on earth am I here for?

I remember in 2013, every time I visited a bookstore in any shopping mall, I always spotted this philosophical question on a best-selling book cover; 'What on earth am I here for?'

So I secretly replied each time I saw it, "Ooh, I am here for my Boba and KFC upstairs!" While the other day I answered, "Ooh I am here for my me-time with a new book in Starbucks downstairs!" And the other day, when strolling in a well-known Christian bookstore in the city and saw it, I replied, "Ooh I am here for Chicken Soto in the café upstairs, and I am going to read new scribes." The other days, each time I spotted that question, I kept answering 'intrapersonally' because it was quite fun. The thing is, I've already bought Rick Warren's 'The Purpose Driven' book 3 times since 2006, so I know the answer.


When our agenda is full of busy-ness, goals to achieve, both short term and long term goals, we seldom think about our existence and its purpose. But when the experts and our government's 'spoke person' ask people to stay home until the vaccines are available, we may start to ask many philosophical questions, or we have cabin fever and find ourselves starting making poems like the guy in 'Locked Down' movie. Well, that's a way to express feelings or fatigue, and that does not matter, we always have Pastor Rick Warren's book to confirm what The Spirit tells us that we are planned for God's pleasure.

'Oat' and 'Out'

By
"Son, if the oats finish, we may need to go out!" Said a young mother to her little boy. How do you perceive this line, a sad line? Supposing it is a sad line, yes, they need to go out! Even if it is a happy line, they still need to go out. "Mom, let's go out and pick strawberries instead! The boy responded cheerfully. I learned something from children way of thinking, that we can count on their big picture thinking in hard times or dilemma. Photo source: Unsplash (Photographer: No-Revisions)

Born to Create

Photo Source: Pixabay (Photographer:Welcome to All ! ツ ) Yes, it is our nature to fight It is our nature to conquer It is our nature to love and hate  It is our desire to find the meaning of everything We build and destroy We burn things and we grow things We initiate war and declare peace We always compete in everything We were born to create  Create a tower that reach the heaven and look for its Creator Create monuments for ourselves Create the skycrapers to see from above We were born to create Create songs to lift up our praises  Make music to worship The Lord and move the heaven's army Build houses for The Lord and gather up to pray together.
