Well it has been about a month since i have written anything so I want to change up my style to become victim to the universe. In this blog I want to ask some questions.
Why do we feel we need a purpose to live? Is living not enough, to exist is a blessing or gift in itself. Why try to make more out of life? If we have no purpose does it really matter? With no purpose would life be more chaotic or peaceful? and finally does it even matter?
I have asked myself these questions for years with a means to put my mind at peace (ha). So how ironic that I ask these questions and yet answer them with my actions. To ask if it any of it matters then spend my life trying to answer that question. So here I am trying to solve the mysteries (or lack there of) of the universe with no means to an end. Will I pass from this organic physical being no more ahead then when I was brought into this world?
To have an end there must have been a beginning. When was this beginning? The moment there was an explosion of gargantuan proportions (big bang)? Maybe in theological point of view it was the moment I became the companion to an all powerfull being. To be less eloquent maybe it was the moment two beings that don't themselve understand existance deciding to perform the biological function of mating and to reproduce more inquisitive beings to further this paradox of understanding meaning. My favorite has to be thats exactly why we are here, to figure out why we are here, the joy of the ultimate paradox.
Alas the more important question is why we must know the answer, if there is one, is it a vital function of correspending with life for mankind. After we evolved (up to discretion I realize) to think beyond the needs of our emotions, did we suddenly realize there was more out there or did we want there to be considering once we far surpassed our fellow mammals we could easily process any function we needed to live, so finding a reason for creation gives us something to focus on until we evolve again?
In conclusion I honestly realize that I will never find an answer to questions that i truly beleive should not and can't be answered. I am aware of the fact that I need to make use of my time more efficeintly.

You're exactly right. That is how the body of Christ is supposed to work: there are many different members, and each has a different function. AND, none can do without all of the others. (1 Corinthians 12)
On Monday, I asked my coach why I didn't get to play much that weekend. She told me honestly but kindly that it was because I had too many turnovers, which is true. But now I have something to work towards and improve on. :]
Anyways, in response to your other question, how do I know believing in Christ is right? (I think that was the jist of it.) I plan on putting my full testimony up on my blog soon. I just finished writing it out, but this is a shorter version:
I grew up in a Christian home, and my family has always gone to church. BUT I didn't just become a Christian because my parents are Christians. In the end, I believed because the people who taught me about God lived out what they believed. They weren't perfect, but they knew what it meant to love others and to live for God. i decided that that was something I wanted. A relationship with God was what I needed - it's what all of us need.
You can't say that God is "right" for some people and that he isn't "right" for others. He loves everyone and he wants to have a relationship with everyone. Being a Christian is about more than following a religion.
Sorry, if my answer doesn't really satisfy you. If you're looking for some more convincing proof that Jesus is the only person putting your complete trust in, I suggest that you look up Ravi Zacharias. He's an extremely educated scholar who argues for the Bible. Some prominant evolutionists won't even talk to him because they know they can't argue with him. There are a lot of videos of him on YouTube, too.
You seem to be pretty well-versed in Christianity. I suppose you've looked into it?
