Something to think about

What would you do in the next 24 hours if you knew you were going to die? I have asked myself this question dozens of times over the years. Really, what would you do? At first, I thought I might want to go skydiving (for those of you who know me.... know that isn't me), or I would want to go drive my dream car, spend time with my wife, and the list goes on. However when I really think about it... I would tell everyone about Jesus.

Guess what? We are dying. When we are born, our bodies are beginning to die. I know that's a little crazy to think about, but it's true. Who knows when our time on this earth is up? God does. If you would have told me 7 years ago that my mother would die of lung cancer on June 20, 2007, I would have told you that you you were crazy. Jesus knew. He knew that was the day that he wanted to bring my mother to home with Him forever. Everything she accomplished in her life came to a closing on that day. Everything except eternal things. It will for all of us. Try to think about living to 100 years old...seems old huh? Try comparing that to a zillion years. You didn't come close to eternity. Comparing 100 years to eternity is impossible. The key here is simple. If we thought we were going to die tomorrow...would we waste our precious time on things that were short lived or would we pour ourselves into something that would have eternal value? I'd like to take the eternal values. What a crazy thing to really think about huh?

God Bless,
