I am here for Friends

About Me

Hmmmm...I often find myself charging through whatever I’m doing – sometimes just to get on to the next thing. Then, after weeks - sometimes months of that, I sit back long enough to take a breath. In those times I find myself feeling really really lucky. (I tend to take some pretty clean shots, but somehow I end up on my feet. God’s grace in action, I guess.) I imagine life could be lived at a slower pace, though I’ve got no box to put that in. It's just that since God saved me I’ve had a pretty acute sense of how quickly this whole thing passes and I’m trying to jam as much living into this life as I can. The weird part is that I know this is all going down in flames someday, but I’ve still got this nagging urge to run around with a fire extinguisher...PS - This isn't the Bible, but it's better than any speech given in our lifetime.
