Life Is Short... Live Hard!!!

Recently, our pastor's sister died from lung cancer. She was only 38.. still in her prime and younger than me. That got me thinking about the family and friends I knew who left planet earth a bit too early.. from diseases, car accidents and the ill-fated plane crash. Perhaps it's a wake-up call for me to redeem time and focus on the more important things in life.. the people I should love and show concern for.. the steadfast character I need to develop.. the places I should see.. and the things I need to do...

Therefore, I will endeavour to gladly meet relatives.. catch up with old friends.. train and develop skills in different ministries and help out in whatever ways I can.. like the Hope Kids Live! P&W team (believe me.. it's much more difficult leading a bunch of beady-bright-eyed.. lollipop-sucking kids than the adult congregation). I would dearly love to include this last phrase.. AND EAT ALL THE FOOD I WANT.. but ALAS! If I did that, then what would become of my unfulfilled resolution for the past 3 years???
