This is first and foremost of importance.
We are only here on earth a short time and eventually all of us die and stand before God then eternity begins.
What we do here on earth IS important for a number of reasons, and before anyone accuses me of not taking this current situation seriously, I certainly am and watching and preparing as I can. However, I also realize that my time here is limited, of which I am becoming more and more aware the older I get, and while prepping here and now and doing what I can to stand for what's right can make a difference, planning for the truly long term reaps better benefits than anything here on earth.
It sure seems to be accelerating.
