No, not Huckleberry Finn. M. Night Shyamalan. Apparently he’s a bad guy. Or something.

I will be responding to the book The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. There’s good stuff in there, but since I’m not an evangelical, there are some disagreements. So, I expect this will inspire me to respond a lot.

I hope to have an entry for each “day” of the book.

This entry begins my examination of the first “day” in the book.

I thought a little about how to meet my own needs — and how to get what I needed, I had to be a certain way. But in order to be that way, I had to have my needs met. Where do you start? This also is influenced by both my father and my father-in-law talking about the first sentence — that the gospel is at it’s core selfish. We live it because it makes us happy.

Well, really, today is memorial day. But when I wrote this, it was Memorial Eve (if you can call it that).Originally penned some 8 years ago. It’ll probably look quite dated.
