Mortality


This morning the world received another “wake-up call”. No one, no matter how famous or talented they are, lives forever. Life is not to be taken for granted –it is a gift for a season. We are flowers in the field that blooms for a day and then withers. In our church this month, we’ve been studying the book of Exodus in a sermon series entitled, “Road Trip.” I guess every road trip must end sometime, somewhere. As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus (100 BC), Moral Sayings, First Century B.C. It’s not death that disturbs me, it’s what we do with our lives that worries me.
There’s something worse than death – it is not having lived your life to the fullest!
