Why, Why, Why?

Do you ever wonder why?  Someone asks you do something and you say “why?”  “Get out of the street..”  But Why?    Errrrrrrrrrrrr thud.  Car coming.  Now let’s make our why’s productive.  In Mark 1:  38 Jesus said "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come."  Jesus wants us to know why we do what we do.  Why helps us identify the purpose.  For instance, why do you go to school?  Ah, to learn.  Knowing the purpose of why you do something will help you make better decisions.  It will keep you on course of the goal.  If the purpose of school is to learn, then what your friends think while you are at school won’t effect you as much.  Some people won’t change schools because they won’t know anyone at the new school.  Or You might say, well if I do to well at school my friends may not like me.  You see how easy it is to lose sight of the purpose. Since the purpose is to learn, then you should learn as much as you can while you are there.  And your friends should want you to succeed.  Who wants to spend 40 hours per week doing something, but then only being mediocre.  When you do that, you are setting yourself up to lead a mediocre life.  If you want extraordinary, you will have to make everything you do extraordinary.  So at school, try hard, learn a lot, get good grades.  It is after all, why you go.  Of course you can still have friends, that will come naturally, but in everything you do, ask yourself why are you doing it and then don’t lose sight of the purpose.  Am I out of time, I am, then why am I still talking?
