Authenticity - How to Live: 101

There are some passages in the Bible that seem to leap off of the page and grab our conscience more than others.  We are at one of those probing paragraphs this coming Sunday.  By the way, what is your life?
 
Socrates said, and I believe Jesus would advocate as well, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  This passage is like a diagnostic tool that goes over our strategy for living.  Is our existence like a passing mist?  Are we reaching for the right things, following the right rabbits?  Does our human frailty show up in our mortality and our temporal brevity?   Ought we to lapse into depression? Or find joy in our few days as we give ourselves to God’s plans for us revealed in His book.
