Bible Note: Ray, we all of us must indeed live but one day at a time. We have no promise of tomorrow. No one on the face of the earth knows when he gets out of bed of a morning that he will be around to see the sun set. One morning nearly 14 years ago my 20-year-old son -- young, healthy, and full of the joy of being alive -- leaped out of bed in eager expectation of the day that lay before him. Before that day came to a close he was dead, the victim of an automobile accident. Whether we shall live another hundred years or another day is of little importance in the perspective of eternity. What is of utmost importance is how we live and for whom. God's blessings to you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace, both now and forevermore. --Hank |
