Blink ... and it may happen to you

Death. It is like a thief in the night isn't it?

After reading the news on line tonight, I am reminded how fragile life truly is. An actor dies and I am sure he was not expecting to leave this world as his eyes grew heavy with a desire to sleep.

I wonder, what is the most important thing in life? Is it fame, wealth, terrific health, great opportunity, power, pleasure, knowledge, physical ability? I think all these things pale in the light of forever, somewhere else.

As a young girl I would look up to the moon at night and wish upon a star that I would grow in fame and that all would know my name and my face. I realize how unimportant that is in the scope of forever. Today, I know that there is nothing as important than to know Christ, personally and intimately.
