You know what?
July 19 2005
I have absolutely no idea what’s in store for me.
I could be married or single,
rich or poor,
long-lived or die young.
In fact, there is absolutely nothing God guarantees us about life. The only sure thing is that we’ll die. Everything else is kind of iffy. I think we as humans go out of our way to avoid thinking about death, but there’s something really refreshing about living in the realization that we’ll someday die.
For one thing, it makes everything that’s hard about life easier to bear cause we know it’ll pass. It teaches us to live with detachment – not the sort of detachment where we don’t allow things to move us, but the sort where we let ourselves be moved easily and passionately, but don’t try to claim or possess the things that move us.
Once you come to realize how unbelievably brief life is, then you understand that greatness is absolutely not the goal of life. Living with what time we have to the glory of God is.
It doesn’t matter if I’m not really great.
And if I don’t have to be great, that means I can fail.
And if I can fail, that means I can try.
And if I can try, that means I'm going to have a good time trying.
I love you guys.
