Great to hear from you, Mr. B! Whassup?
: The purpose of this post is for me to refocus myself, to let the world in on my cracked life. I would encourage all who will take the time to think on these things, meditate on the Word of Life, and live each day as though there will be no more.
There is a way to live each day that is appropriate whether today is the day of death or it is another sixty years removed. This is the freedom in Christ: to plan and work to accomplish good things, but to be equally ready to let go in an instant. I think of my death all the time with longing--it gives me great power--but I am prepared to live in that power and confidence for decades more if God wills. I am unafraid of death; I am more afraid of living my life in futility, whether because of not seeing priorities in the light of my death or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, because of a fearful and crippling fixation on death.
