The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

I don't want to hear him ask me that, either...

I think most of us would have to plead guilty to wasting far too much time, and far too much of our lives . . .
I disagree very strongly. I kind of laughed at the presumption of the purpose driven life. Look at it in retrospect. What exactly did Cecil Rhodes accomplish that was worth all that he gave for it? Live, laugh, love and enjoy. There is little more to be done. One can only hope that the boys snuffed out in places like the Somme and Verdun did all that before shuffling off.
That's very likely, Peter, but look at the other side of the point, what have you done with your time, and how much. You and I, and many of the people that have similar life experiences, such as Old NFO or LawDog, can hardly be described as timid. I will find out when I get there, until then, Grace by Faith is the key.
