As I was in the car tonight, driving home with Jim, I was relaying to him the revolutionary weight of my future as a perfecto gelato experto. I was explaining the beauty of being out in the world with people, sharing the love of Christ, actually being around people who don't believe what I believe. Then he spoke. "Dave, I thought college was going to rock my world. I said to myself, Now I'll actually be doing stuff, accomplishing something, finally getting on with life!' You know what I found out? It just doesn't work that way. Contentment is a decision."
it was then that I realized - I can't count the number of times in a week I need to be reminded of this - It was then that I realized purpose is only found in Christ. Working will not make me happy. Now as I put my hope in Christ, I'll be led to quit being lazy, develop a greater work ethic, and generally have more purpose, but the work itself doesn't bring fulfillment. There are a lot of rich, hardworking people that still don't have peace. God gives me the desire to work, but it is God and not work and business that bring me peace.
But you already knew all that... Goodnight :O)

Ok man, here's your answer, sometimes the fact of doing or asking things are so conventional that it becomes hypocrisy...I don't know like people who says "thanks" thusand times in the same houer because of a dinner or emphasing the fact that it was during all the time...things like that, the question "how are you ?" was just an example...I guess we could get thousands like that...well, I gtg it's pretty late here !! Ttyl.
Sure we know that...but like you, how many times do we need to hear wise cousel to remind us once again. Thanks man!
