The Purpose Driven Life Day 1

this might sound bad, but for a lack of anything better to do
i started reading the book a purpose driven life

(if you think about it maybe it was just fate that provided me with nothing else to do so i could read this book, so maybe i was meant to start reading this book, oh kay enuff defending myself i'll just be real and continue on)

for the lack of anything else interesting to do (again this sounds bad) i've decided to start work on my renew session for Jan 8 about the holy trinity and its role in our lives...
i've scrounged up all my notes that i've taken this past year from numerous seminars and speakers (unfortunately i can't find my notes from the sol lss i went to at the start of the year =(, it had really good material too, mayn they're around here somewhere)

and i'm also devoted to reading more about praise and worship as well
i have two books i borrowed from hoj and i'm taking forever to read them...
but now cuz... i dont have nething interesting to do (i should stop saying that, this is interesting to do now)
i'll work on that concurrently with reading purpose driven and working on my talk...

---

if one is unfamiliar with the book The purpose driven life by Rick Warren,
i strongly recommend it (even so that i haven't even read it yet)
we can go read it together even!

but at anyrate, this book recommends reading one chapter a day only...
this i guess is to prevent the rushing of the book
and to let each message from each chapter to full sink in...

in accordance to that idea...
each chapter ends with quotes and questions pertaning immediately to the chapter topic...

after each daily chapter that i read
i'm going to post these passages and questions here
so that i might further be able to reflect on them and the message

Day 1
Thinking about my Purpose

"It's not about me."

"Everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him."
Colossians 1:16b (Msg)

In spite of all the advertising around me, how can i remind myself that
life is reallya bout living for God, not myself?
