Think, questions without answers


There are many timeless questions that each person asks of himself:

Who am I?
 
Why am I here?
 
Who is God?
 
Why do bad things happen to good people?
 
How was the world created?
 
What happened to the dinosaurs?
 
What do I do if there is a catastrophic event?
 
Why does money exist?
 
Who really is in charge of this _____?


Obviously this list could get pretty long.  I once considered these questions vital and important.  Once I turned my life over to God, the big questions became small and unimportant. God had it all covered.

However, I am concerned about other things, and have created a new list:

Where did I park the car?
By the way, where are the car keys?
 
Did I close the garage door?
 
What is the expiration date on _____?
 
What is that person’s name—the one approaching me with a big smile?
 
Where is the next exit off the freeway?
 
Where is the closest bathroom?
I mean it, where is the closest bathroom?
 
What is the price of this___?  The print is too small.

These are pretty basic questions, I’ll give you that.
But, they matter to me.
 
I suspect there are many readers who could add to this list.



Any other questions you would suggest?
 
This is a repost from 2011.  Sometimes when I look back at some old posts, I have two thoughts: Dang! That's pretty good and What was I thinking? Do you ever do that?
