0 Perfect desk calendar

I've had The Purpose Driven Life desk calendar all year and it's so good that I keep tearing off certain days and keeping them! Occasionally, I'll go back and read them and remember why it was important to me. (I've spent the past year battling cancer.)

I hope they have one for 2011 but here's this year's.

0 What on Earth Are We Here For?

In the span of 12 hours, I had a request to pray for a person who had overdosed on drugs and hours later, a request to pray for someone about to have a baby. And then, only two months ago, I was praying for my own life after six rounds of chemo for cancer.

All that really gets me thinking about life. What on earth are we here for?

Love what Rick Warren has to say about that question in his book, Purpose Drive Life. Currently reading Os Guinness's book, The Call, which so far is very good. Also reading Billy Graham's book, The Journey.

Warren's book has one of the best opening sentences I've ever read: "It's not about you." That's a good starting point when answering the question.
