Amen, John.

Mike and I started reading "The Purpose Driven Life" and, whilst it's OK, I 
haven't been terribly "gripped" or "challenged" so far.  Unfortunately, we 
both had to agree that, because of time constraints, there was no way we 
could read every day for the 40 days.  I think that was one of the things 
that put me off a bit.  God knows our hearts and our strength and weakness 
currently and there's no way we could do this or really wanted to be told 
that was what we *MUST* do.

Oh dear, am I on my horse today, or what?  Don't mean to be!  Blame the hour 
at which I woke . . . and all I've already done today - at least a whole 
day's production by 11:20 A.M.  Can't wait for bedtime!  <Yawn!>

I don't know what he means by it.  I would rather
be Spirit lead than purpose driven.
