Shakspr, I did the book version of purpose driven life and I loved it. It led me to other great aspects of my new life (church, kids, friends) that I didn't realize I needed/wanted. I've been away from the board for a while and will try to read your sitch as a few details I never mentioned on board or happened before D sound very familiar.
Seek God and glorify Him in everything you do...Not a word for word bible quote, but the life you gain from doing so is worth it.
