Some topics have been floating around in my mind the last couple of days when I've been in this amazingly good mood. They don't relate until you really start to think about it, and I think a lot. Death. That's the first topic. And no, I wasn't sarcastic when I said I was in a good mood; I'm just crazy enough to think about death while I'm joyful. Life is so fragile and in a minute, we could be gone. I have to ask myself what am I doing in this moment?
It's not like it's something I just started thinking about. My dad has a dangerous career; he has always been upfront about that. My grandmother has gotten her cancer back. Every chance I get, I want to spend with her because it could be the last. And for some reason, I'm applying it to everyone. My friend doesn't have to be in her 70s to go. It reminds me of a couple of years ago when this girl in the marching band was killed in a car wreck. She was only about 18. In an instant she was gone.
There are so many people who don't know Jesus. How many do I pass everyday, work with, go to church with? I can look back on my life and think of people I could have impacted. I don't want to miss any more opportunities. I could be gone tomorrow and what good will it do others. They could be gone.
I don't want to wake up one day and think of more people who need to hear the gospel. I want every moment to count.
And now I've forgotten what else I've been thinking about.
