One Hundred Years Old
It's a fact of life that we could be dead tomorrow. But we find that so hard to believe. Death is something that happens to other people. In 1971, health author Jerome Rodale said, "I'm going to live to be one hundred." He died the next day at the age of fifty-one. But even if he had lived until he was a hundred years old, he would still have died. Someone once said, "There are only two things in life that are sure-death and taxes." That's not true. Plenty of people avoid taxes; nobody avoids death. Ten out of ten die. The leading actor of a popular TV series put it this way: "Death is a guarantee from the day we are born. But I guess we don't think about it because we think it will never happen." How right he was. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
