Today is probably going to be more of the same. I am extremely busy with work, but I guess I enjoy the excitement. However, the nagging question that I have in the back of my mind is this: What am I trying to accomplish in life?
I suppose everyone asks this question at some point in life, but I always am pondering this. I have a great job and I enjoy what I do. I am also doing well, at least from the feedback I am receiving. I am probably more successful than many are. However, is this really what life is about? Am I leaving the best kind of legacy for my children and their children? Am I setting the course of the family in the right direction? I want to be one who sets the family in the proper direction, not with respect to prosperity - though that is good - but with respect to spiritual things. I guess I want to know that my efforts turned our family into a beacon for Christ in the jungle of the self-seeking world. I also want to see that this type of influence does not just affect me and the immediate present, but that it affects the generations after me.
Another thought:
I am really blessed. I have a great marriage, a great job, many possessions, and lots of great friends. But not all are so blessed.

I would like to help at least one child like this that is so unfortunate. I think it would not only be good for the child, but also for our children to understand what other people in other places have to face.
