A week ago today my old college roommate and best friend of 44 years died in a tragic automobile accident. Just three days earlier we were relishing our annual fishing trip together. Life can end in a split second when we least expect it. Blessed is the person who loves Jesus and lives on the verge of eternity.--Chip Kirk
How rare are the times of those who live and act from day to day as if they are living on the verge of eternity; striving to fill up all their remaining moments on this earth serving and honoring their great Master! We insensibly trifle away time, thinking that we have plenty of it. And we are so strangely amused by this world that we lose a sense of the holiness and blessed qualifications necessary to prepare us to be inhabitants of the heavenly paradise. But oh, dear Sir, lying in a dying bed, if we still have our mental capacity at the time, will give us another view of things.--David Brainerd
Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom.--Moses (Psalm 90:12)
