One of my first post on this blog was entitled “Firsts” I talked about the first things that we experience. Last week, after watching the fighting going between Israel and Lebanon, I went to fill the car up with gas because I knew this unrest would cause the price of oil to go up – again. As I began pumping the gas and being disgusted about what it was going to cost, I thought – ‘this might be the last tank of gas you ever pump.’ Now why would a thought like that enter my mind? Maybe because it is true and I need to be ever mindful about the relevant eternal things and quit focusing on irrelevant temporal things.

It is great for me to think about the first time I held my daughter in my arms and the first time I kissed my wife and the first time that I realized that God was speaking to my heart and calling me into a relationship with Him.

Now that I have been blessed with all that I need to be ever mindful that whatever I do, it may be the last time I do it. I have but now to live for Christ. This may be my last blog post. But, if God grants me more time, I will be talking to you here again soon.
