Our lives are short - relatively speaking. Somewhere about five years ago, life began to speed up for me. Marriage, home ownership, becoming a parent...I am amazed at how chocked full the last ten years have been.
And I am at a time of reflection. Suddenly I look back and see the fulfillment of so many of my dreams. Now, I don't want to waste the time I have remaining. I know it will only be a few moments from now. I have always known that...But I never realized that it would suddenly really seem true. I have a full life. And I am only 33. Mid-life is around the corner. Wow.
My wife's grandfather is sick with cancer. It has caused me to reflect on the brevity of our earthly sojourn. I want to be faithful to God and to others. May my examination provoke me to act.
