My dad would get so mad when I would blow off a nice fall Saturday afternoon to go to a college football game. He ask me once “Do you think those guys you’re watching give a rats ass if you fail or succeed?
Makes you think.
It does me.
Rather than spend time on “Celebrities” and reality TV perhaps we should spend more time on REAL LIFE.
I had some friends who lost some special people in their life this year and my question is this?
If you only have 60 minutes left to live, whom would you want to spend it with?
What would you want to be doing?
Who would call and say I am sorry to?
Who would tell that you love them?
Who would you want to hug one last time?
Ephesians 5:15-21 (NIV)
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
Kevin..... I knew we were cut from the same cloth!!! I say get rid of TV! And live as if today was your last because it may well be:)
