I'm wondering how I would live/what I would change/what would be different if I were to find out I only had 2 months to live. That's not random. A friend of a friend got that news recently. It has made a radical difference in her life.
It has stuck with me. It would be nice to live, really live, as if only the important things mattered.
So what IS important? Is it what SHOULD be important? What lasts? How much of your time is devoted to it now?
I'll blog soon, I promise. Sometimes there's just too much on my mind to sort it all out in words.
But that "making use of your time" bit....I spent some time looking up old friends from youth group on Facebook the other day. Wow. It's pretty discouraging.
I wonder what changes people would make--what changes I would make--if there wasn't much time in which to make them.
Tammy...how's that? :-)

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't clean my house...or send my kids to school...but then, those things have to be done right? I don't know. How do we live for today...in the present..really live but yet take care of the mundane?
I thought about the one comment today: "This isn't how the Lord wanted me to spend my money." Wow. We were at the boat show. So many shiny toys. If that were my life's ambition--to acquire stuff--boy, there's a lot to catch my attention at a place like that. But....that statement.
I don't want to not be diligent, or stop working hard, or let my house fall down around my ears because I want to hang out and sing campfire songs with the kids all day...but would you know that from other choices I've made? Don't know. Just thinking.
Hey, you figured out the comment thing! And...you commented the second I published. Funny.
Miss you!
