In Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a supercomputer called Deep Thought is built to answer the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. It runs for seven and a half million years. The answer comes back: 42.
Everyone is furious. The answer is useless. Deep Thought tells them the answer is fine. They never understood the question they were asking.

We do the same thing. We stall out on the job, the marriage, the season we’re in, and we ask: What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams?

Every one of those questions “me” is the subject.

If the answers keep coming back useless, check the question. Try these instead: Who needs something I already have? What is broken in my neighborhood that I could fix? Who is carrying weight alone right now?

Those questions have answers you can act on before you leave this parking lot.

PAX then shared some challenges we are going through and closed by praying over each other.
