Psalm 89:47, 48- O [earnestly] remember how short my time is and what a mere fleeting life mine is. For what emptiness, falsity, futility and frailty you have created all men!

I had to fight back tears as I entered my workout place today. The last time I heard “It’s a Small, Small World, my sister’s casket, flanked by an honor guard of nurses, was being wheeled through a funeral home.

John 13:16-18–This is how much God loved the world. He gave his Son, His one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust in him has long since been under the death penalty without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. (MSG)
Prayer: Lord, show us yourself so clearly that we would choose to believe in this one-of-a-kind God, the Christ. Amen
