Chapters

I have stood at the bedside of maybe thousands of people as they took their last breath. What people say in their final moments is pretty important. They don't mess around when people are dying in their last words. Nobody has ever said, uh, Pastor Rick, bring me my trophies, I want to look at them one more time, or even bring me my college graduation certificate, I want to look at it one more time. When people are dying and they know know their time is short. What they want in the room is not things or trophies or achievement. What they want are the people they love. Eventually, we all eventually figure out that it's all about love. It's all about relationships. I just pray you'll figure it out a whole lot sooner.
