So I've been thinking a lot lately about the fact that life is short. Probably because I just heard this awesome talk about it during the first week of The Crossing's MIST series. I know I need to get back on track with eating healthy and exercising. It's been too long. Too many excuses. Too many "I'll start tomorrow's". There are things I want to accomplish and, if I'm honest about it, these things are not going to be as easy to do if I remain the way I am right now.

This whole series is based off of this scripture:
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
-James 4:13-17

OUCH! Did you read what that just said? Anyone who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. We do not know if we have tomorrow. I don't know the future and neither do you. I want to live my life to the FULLEST while I'm here. That means no more of this waiting-around-being-lazy-waiting-for-my-problem-to-take-care-of-itself stuff. I KNOW the good I ought to do. I'm just not doing it. Until now. I can start right this minute. So can you! Do you know something you ought to be doing that you aren't doing? Maybe you should make a budget. Call someone up and apologize. Forgive someone you're holding a grudge against. Brush your teeth. I don't know what your "thing" is, but I know we've all got a "thing". You aren't guaranteed tomorrow. Don't waste your life, for you are a mist.
