Psalm 39:4-5
Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before You. Each man's life is but a breath.
Life is so short. It seems like only yesterday my oldest child was born and now she's already in high school. And there is no way over a quarter century has passed since I was in high scholl myself, is there? There are fewer years until I retire than there have been since I graduated from college. The days, the months, the years just keep clicking by. Have I already lived over half of my life yet? Yes, life is indeed fleeting and but a breath.
I really wonder how people cope with the shortness of life here on earth who don't have Christ and the hope of eternity. Wouldn't you expect them to treasure every moment even more if they think this life is all there is? I need to see those people around me and share with them the hope I do have.

Hey from Scotland. I saw your blog on Judges 4 and 5, good stuff. I discovered last night that my great, great, great Grandfather was a Mennonite preacher in Edna Mills Indiana way way back. Since I'm an Independent Baptist Missionary that fact made me smile last night. Funny ole world ain't it. Keep on keeping on Brother, only God is worthy of honor, honor Him !
