No, it's not about a sports tournament. It's about life. Yes, for Christians, we believe that life on earth is a one shot deal. What do we do while we are here to make life bearable, fun, justified, or want to leave a positive legacy? I don't know about you, but I am sometimes guilty of running through my daily life trying to accomplish everything I can.
As I get older I find myself purposefully slowing down the pace of my life. Not in an attempt to make it "last" longer, because I could die at any moment. The reason for slowing down is to take the time to interact with those in my path to listen, to commiserate, to console, to pray for and with, to be compassionate, and to be less about me and more about others.
For me, I'm 100% sure how this all ends and what's in store after my physical body is no longer needed, or for that matter useful. My hope is that those that I interact with will find the same path to heaven. When my time comes, I'll be waiting for you on that golden shore cheering for you!
