Thanks to Rod for forwarding a link to a contest entitled The Power of Purpose. Combining secular and Christian organizations and judges, the contest asks people to write an essay of 3500 words or less that describes the power of purpose. The contest is to encourage people to think about and increase the awareness of the value of purpose. The first prize is $100,000 US, so we are not talking chump-change here!

Christians have long compared prayer to a thermometer that measures spiritual heat. When we grow complacent in our relationship with the Lord, that thermometer almost invariably registers cool, for in such times we pray seldom and we pray without fervor.
