We Know Why We're Here

The excitement in the Lowcountry of South Carolina is almost too much to bear. After so much bad news--from schools to crime to the misadventures of our governor and other public officials, at long last there was some good news to share.


OK, maybe not good news. GREAT NEWS!


Boeing announced that they would open a second line for the 787 Dreamliner in North Charleston, bringing with it over 3,800 jobs! It was the kind of news that made Democrats and Republicans hug at a news conference! We are thrilled about the possibilities of what this new industry might mean to our area, and to SC.

But there is another reason I am excited about Boeing being around. I hope that their answer might become our question.

I heard it on their commercial.

I love the line--"We know why we're here...to build a new generation of airplanes..." But I have to wonder, how many churches could answer that question?

What is it that we are here for?

Could we put is so succinctly that it would fit in a 30 second commercial?

"We know why we're here..."

Really?

Why?
