Appendicitis.

Hi blog watchers!  Sorry it has been so long since I have written anything.  I was going through a dry spell.  I plant to start trying to write a minimum of once a week, if only to share with you how its going.

Last week I was back home in Michigan with my son who had his appendix out.  How scary was that?  By the way, what the heck is an appendix anyway and why do we even have one?  All it does is sit there inside with the potential to cause great pain and even death! Thankfully most of us never have to deal with it, but for those who do.. WHOO, I feel so sorry.
Anyway it got me to thinking about how our lives (in this world) are so short and precious.   I pray that each of us can live life to our fullest potential realizing that each day is a gift.  I mean, what they told me at the hospital is that if that appendix burst, it dispenses a good dose of poison into your body which could actually kill you.  AND, on top of that, there is no warning when this might happen, its the intense pain of the swollen appendix that drives you to the hospital which by then could actually be too late!
If you are interested (an nuts like me), you can click here to read more about appendix and appendicitis.

Today I just want us to consider the idea that tomorrow is not promised to any of us.  It doesn't matter if you are young or old, healthy or not.  Not to be morbid, but honestly, when we leave here, how do we want to be remembered?  I know for myself that I want to do something significant, something that will have an impact on the world.  I don't want to waste my time feeling miserable and sorry for myself, I want to live like there is no tomorrow realizing that when I go from here, I am not taking anything with me.
So, let each day, be your best day!

Mathew 6:19-21 (NASB)   “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Thanks for listening.
