This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Purpose of Life
I disagree that the purpose of life is not to be happy. It is not ONLY to be happy. And the rest of the quote is true. But I do believe that the purpose of life is to be happy, in part. Or rather happiness is one of the purposes of life. This is from the catechism at the back of the Episcopal Prayer Book (which is awesome, by the way): "the world belongs to its creator; and...we are called to *ENJOY* it and to *CARE FOR IT* in accordance with God's purposes." (emphasis added)
