In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren, on day 16 discusses “What Matters Most.” I am going to journal the three highlights of this chapter. #1 Life without love is really worthless #2 Love will last forever #3 God will evaluate us on our love
I believe these are three important statements, however, I would like to discuss [...]

Is that what blogging is about? Or is it simply sharing whatever one wants to. I know it is [...]

This is an excellent chapter to read when you are feeling depressed, lonely, unloved, rejected or out of sorts. Scripture after scripture tells us that once we are believers, we belong to the most wonderful family any [...]

Rick Warren, In the Purpose Driven Life, addresses a topic that we as God’s children experience at some point in our lives. When God seems distant to us, when we feel out of touch. In reading this section I was reminded that we should live by faith and not be feelings. God has not moved, [...]

I appreciate our church who has three services on Sunday morning, a traditional, one for younger adults, and a [...]

The last time I journaled Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life it was about Becoming Best Friends With God. My husband and I through the years have the opportunity of meeting individuals where we became best friends, but in the course of circumstances we no longer hear from them. We think of them often, but [...]
