What Will Happen When You Die?

"When you die, there will be a funeral. You may have twenty-five or two thousand people attend. But do you know what they'll do after the funeral? They will catch lunch and have a great old time together. Then they will hurry back to work because somebody was covering for them while they took the morning off. That night they'll go home and watch a sitcom rerun, and forget all about your memorial by morning. Are you ready for that?

In the end, you will lose everything. All is vanity. Vanity of vanities-that's life. It goes quickly, you die, and pretty soon nobody knows who you were." -Tommy Nelson (A Life Well Lived, 12)

Anybody feel a little smaller after reading that? I do.

Make it count,
Stephen
