No one really likes to think about death.
Why?
It’s not like it’s not going to happen.
Here’s a little exercise to get your cranium thinking. Which would you pick and why, if given the choice between these two:
- You have six months left to live
- You have ten years left to live

Ten years, because my kids would all be grown up by then.
Thanks Teresa for your answer.
Trouble is, people pick neither.
When you think of eternity, this life is short for everyone.
James 4:14 (New International Version)
What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
It is short, which is exactly my point. And, by and large, humans squander this time with I’m gonna, I will when, soon as, next week, next year, when the kids…, when I retire, soon as the job slows down, this Fall, starting New Year’s Day, blah, blah, blah…
We don’t get to pick when we go, but we do get to pick when we start (living for Christ).
