You are a good standard-bearer for the only One who matters.

Recently I had been visiting an unbelieving friend in her final days in hospice. I recall so vividly one particular visit knowing she probably had hours to live. Walking out of her room I was driving home and simply thunderstruck by the incongruity of seeing a guy nearby driving a Ferrari, clearly reveling in the moment of life.

It really crystalized for me how brief life really is and how most think somehow this life just keeps going on forever. As you note, no one gets out alive.

As a result of that moment, in part, I just finished a book called “Living Life Backward: How Ecclesiastes Teaches Us to Live in Light of the End”. It was a very good read.

Good vanity.

I pray that it is so, but I feel woefully inadequate.

All the glory belongs to God.

I had to lose my pride to ask God for help. It took 40 years of agnosticism.

Then, everything changed for the better.
