I may live to be 105 and die quietly in my bed, surrounded by my great grandchildren, or I may collapse on my way to get my next cup of coffee. The chances are it will be somewhere in between.
When I think of all the ways I could go, it is troubling. I could be mugged sitting here on my porch. I could drop dead with an aneurysm. I could have a heart attack. I could develop cancer and go in great pain and suffering. I could blow a tire and run into a tree.
Or, I could live a long life of joy and anticipation. I can have lunch with my son today. I could write great tracts. I could think great thoughts. I can influence my grandchildren.
Most of it is about choices. I choose to live in the joy of the Lord and the freedom of the Spirit. He can call me home with no notice.
