    3 aspects of Christian identity

    1. We’re sheep
    2. We’re named
    3. We’re redeemed

    ‘My drive in life is from the fear of being mediocre. I push past one spell of it and discover myself as a special human being, but then I feel I’m still mediocre and uninteresting, unless I do something else. Because even though I’ve become somebody I still have to prove that I’m a somebody. My struggle has never ended and probably never will.’ (Madonna)

    2 options for meaning in life:-
