A friend’s text came through last night as I was lying in bed, casually reading FB updates in the dark.

David’s high school classmate’s 16-year old Son had drown earlier in the day.

I called down the hall to Chapin’s room.

In the dark, we processed the text, and recalled one of Chapin’s best friend’s suddenly losing his Dad a month ago.

It reinforced the point of not missing a day saying, “I love you” (not the first thing a 12-year old embraces).

So glad just a few hours prior I hit the accept button.

November 18th is today.

The movie this clip summarizes was shown only one night, September 24.

This is being prepared now, August 08.

Hoping 100 days from September 24 (Jan. 04, 2014), the post here will be about how the Holy Spirit profoundly strengthened the Faith of many.

A beautiful quote can summarize a whole volume:

I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty . . . This is my highest and best use as a human. – Ben Stein

Live, before we die.

Traveled to Glacier National Park (a week ago) with my Family because I wanted them to know, and remember, of all the places on Earth, Glacier is my absolute favorite. I did this deliberately.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. – Thoreau

Could we come to our deathbed and realize there were a few really important things we never did but should have, could have, or would have, had we known the end time?
