You have not missed one at all?&#8221; I answered, &#8220;It has been almost 5 years, 1769 blogs, never missed one day!&#8221; He then asked, &#8220;Do you make money off of that blog?&#8221; I answered, &#8220;No, not a penny.&#8221; My student thinks I am crazy. But that is not the point of my blog. The point is to do what God has called me to do on a daily basis. I am devoted to my purpose.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Devotion is to give or apply entirely, to dedicate, to commit oneself to something. I am devoted to many people in my life. I am devoted to my faith, my God and my purpose in this life. I believe my purpose is to bring people closer to God one word, one speech, one retreat, one blog, one lesson, one class period, one prayer, one hug at a time.
