Today is Evaluate Your Life Day.

On this date...
In 1998 - Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson got his boxing license back after he had lost it for biting Evander Holyfield's ear during a fight.

In 2003 - London magician, David Blaine, emerged from a clear plastic box that had been suspended by a crane over the banks of the Thames River. He survived only on water for 44 days. Blaine had entered the box on September 5.

If those two quotes don't make you evaluate your life, I don't know what will. I mean, when you look at those two, you realize that human beings are some pretty strange folks capable of things that defy the imagination.
What will you do with your life?
What will you be remembered for?
And what good is being remembered, when the folks remembering you are too busy wondering what they will be remembered for?

The answer is that life is not the real thing. It is simply a charade in which we think we can do something worth being remembered. It is a list of mostly forgotten facts, stumbled across occasionally when we are looking for an interesting read. There is so much more, but it's not going to be found here. It's not about life, or even "life after death", it's about the glory of God. It's about knowing the unfathomable One who is the reason for our existance. It's about knowing Him and petitioning His Son for the great gift of forgiveness we could never earn so that we might be worthy of the honor of sitting at His feet and worshipping Him for eternity. There really is nothing on the shedule for today, or a thousand tomorrows for that matter, that is important enough to even be mentioned alongside that. Life, death, hunger, grief...they all pale in comparison when we begin to see Him as He is and worship Him as the God He is.
