Thou shalt start your own blog!
We got back from Iowa last night. It was a sad couple of days.....but good at the same time. Wayne had really gone down hill in the last year or so. If I didn't know that was him in the casket I never would have guessed it.
As I read thru the last couple of chapters this morning.....I was reminded of the feeling I had as I was sitting there listening to Ed Baker talk about life/death. I probably sat in that same pew a hundred times, in my life.
He was talking about the kind of person you are, and the legacy you leave behind. In reference to Wayne, Ed said, "to me its not about how many times he was a deacon or an elder, or how much he did for the church on paper.....to me it comes down to the fact that Wayne was just a great guy!'
I keep think about that.
And wondering what would be said about me in that same moment.
I think that what is said in that moment is a direct reflection to the decision we make everyday. Do we chose God, or do we chose ourselves. Choosing God leads to life......and according to Deuteronomy....it leads to a life of prosperity. Choosing against God leads to death.
I've become so adjusted to this wretched place we call home.....that I'm sure I make poor choices without even knowing I'm doing so.
My challenge for the day -
be mindful of every decision you make.
it can mean the difference between life and death.......not just for you, but for those around you that are watching you.
