Why Are We Here?

I heard a story some years ago and I what to share it with you. I don't remember the source so you will have to forgive me for that.

A preacher when he got up to preach would start out the sermon by saying, "Why Are We Here?". When he preached at a funeral he would start out by saying, "Why Are We Here?". When he went to the nursing home and preached he would start out by saying, "Why Are We Here?". No matter what the occasion before he began the sermon he started of with that question. Never was he expecting to get an answer he only wanted to get the people thinking before he started.

One day he had the opportunity to preach in the psychiatric ward of the hospital. As usually be began the message by saying, "Why Are We Here?". One of the patients shouted out, "Because we are not all there."
