Recently a couple of friends/clients of mine with their two young children were in a car accident. They were driving down the road in the county where I live and a car crossed the center line - struck them head-on. The two parents were severely injured and their two children were injured - but alive. The two people in the car that crossed the line were killed instantly.  This incident or should I say accident got me to thinking of the mist of life. I have three children who drive daily along with my wife and many other loved ones. I don't often realize how close we all are daily to eternity. I know this sounds a bit like I'm "on something" or maybe a bit morbid, but please hear me out. Am I really drinking all of life in?  You see, I'm a follower of Jesus - the One who conquered death. I believe that there is more to life than just this life. I probably ought to live like that. In fact, I'm about to get into my truck and head to church to join with others and worship - Today could be the day I meet Jesus face to face. I'm good with that and I hope we all are. If we're not than maybe we should take the necessary steps to become good with that.

I'm apologize if this sounds a bit "preachy". It is not meant to be. I think life is more than the next big deal, paycheck, or how much money I've saved or lost in this economy.  Life is worth living to the fullest with or without money. (It's hard to focus on that when we're broke!) My life is more about the One who created me than me.

I'm glad to say that my friends/clients are healing and will probably soon be home from the hospital to be reunited with their family. All of this just got me thinking - am I ready?  By getting ready to die really helps me live fully!

Live on!!
