a reminder to the brevity of life...

RIP IAIN ALEXANDER KNIGHT
Rest in peace brotha, you always told it like it was, your sense of humor, your genuineness, you will be missed...

"As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, or if due to strength, eighty years, yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; for soon it is gone and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger and Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? So teach us to number our days, that we may present to You a heart of wisdom. Do return, O Lord; how long will it be? -Psalm 90:10-13

This post is a bit overdue, but has been on my mind for a long time now. My friend from high school passed away over Mother's Day weekend, thinking about it really put things in perspective for me. I know when I go out fishing I always tell people that life is short, and we really don't have 100% certainty that we'll even live to see tomorrow, but this really hit home for me. I hope this can really push me towards sharing the Gospel with my non-believing friends. After all if God is to us as the treasure is to the man in Matthew 13:44, then why would we not want to share Him with our "friends" I put quotations around friends because looking at the eternal perspective on things, our friendships here on Earth are so brief, but if we have that little inkling of possibility that they could be brothers and sisters with us in heaven, then why not? God please change my man-fearing heart!
