The Dash!

FOLKS, OUR TIME ON THIS EARTH IS LIMITED…

As a result, Paul tells us to, “Be very careful, then, how (we) live…”  David really hits the nail on the head in Psalm 39:4, “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life."

There is a starting point to all of our earthly lives and a finishing point to all of our earthly lives. Our job is to make the dash, that appears between our birth date and our death date, worth something!

A few years ago, People Magazine published an article entitled, "Dead Ahead" describing a new clock that keeps track of how much time a person has left to live. The clock is based on an average life span of 75 years for men and 80 years for women. The object is to program in your sex and your current age and from then on, the clock will tell you how much time you have left on planet earth.  That is all well and good, but the honest truth is this: Neither you nor I have a guarantee of even one more day to live. All we have is right now. Let us all be very careful then how we live.
