Danny, the former Heisman Trophy winner for the Florida Gators and current back-up quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, blew me away with his concern for the work of the gospel. It was apparent that he was more concerned when he came to New Orleans to find opportunities for ministry than he was about furthering his career. It is so easy to lose sight of what's really important. You see, we will one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ. We must live our lives so as to have no such regrets.
Life is short.
We are not promised 75-80 years here. Some may get that and more, but others of us will not. This idea was cemented in my soul on Friday night as I sat and listened to Mo Leverett sing and play his guitar. I wonder what experiences of pain and suffering lie behind the words he passionately sang to us. His only Son on the cross.
