I expect and hope…to show the greatness of Christ in my life here on earth, whether I live or die. Philippians 1:20

"…It would have been nice if God had let us order life like we order a meal. Ill take good health and a high IQ. Ill pass on the music skills, but give me a fast metabolism…
Would've been nice. But it didn't happen. When it came to your life on earth, you weren't given a voice or a vote.

But when it comes to life after death, you were. In my book that seems like a good deal. Wouldn't you agree?.."

I never really thought about it that way. I have always been so tied up in wanted to be a different person on earth, comparing myself to others, wondering why I couldn't do the things they could do. I, in all my human selfishness, put this short period of time called life, ahead of what's really important…Death.

I always knew where I was going, because I knew where I stood with God. I suppose I just took it for granted. I didn't need to worry about the "there and gone," because I knew where I would end up, so I focused on the "here and now"… What about you guys? What do you spend most of your time thinking about? How I can get this or that right now or, how can I insure an amazing future after Im gone.
