Making the bed that I lie in while I'm waiting to die...

Sounds depressing right? What a way to start a new blog...:) Well if you read further, it will make a lot more sense...and hopefully will be a little more inspiring..and a lot less depressing.

This is an excerpt from a book I'm reading right now.... The book is called *Chazown* by Craig Groeschel (pronounced khaw-ZONE) from the Hebrew, meaning a dream, revelation or vision.

It's actually the first page... Check it out:


"Most people take a long time to die. Think about it. There are those few who go suddenly. Accidents. Heart attacks. Gang shootings. A soapy slip off the edge of the tub. But for you, chances are that at the end of your life, you will die in bed. Waiting.

And while you wait, you will very likely have days, weeks, even years to think, to look back on your life.

Imagine yourself there, lying in bed and reflecting. Reading back through the chapters of your life story.

What did my life add up to?
Did I really matter?
What did I live for?
Who will remember me?
What will they say about me when I'm gone?
Why was it important that I existed?

So many questions. So much time. Will you lie there with no regrets? Some regrets? Nothing but regrets?

Imagine.

Or not. I mean, you'll probably have time to thank about it when you get to that bed. So you could just wait. (Millions do.) See what comes. Wait until the final pages of your life story to see how it reads to you then.

But that's no way to end the story of your life.

Here's one more thing to think about:

The decisions you are making today are actually making the bed you will lie in while you wait to die."
