There and now

Life is a blur. When I was 21 I thought to myself...Self, you could die a happy man. I have done a lot for being 21. Now that I am 28 there seems like there is so much more to accomplish. I recently spoke with a friend and we were discussing the issue of suicide. To so many it seems like a selfish act and at a glance it really is. However people that contemplate suicide are inundated with crazy emotions and a deep loss of self worth. In my friends example he was a teenager and his neighbor killed himself after calling all his friends and family. It was over a girl. Another one of my friends had his friend also kill himself by jumping off of a cliff. It was over a girl. It was obviously devastating enough to want to end their life. I truly wish they could have seen themselves as I do at 28. I really do. There is so much more that's waiting, if some would just give themselves a chance. It's ironic that so many sit in death row and are fighting for minutes to live and so many are willing to give away millions of minutes to just die.

Whenever temptation comes, righteousness is at hand. Whenever absolute impending doom shakes its' fist at us, deliverence is on its' way. You'll never know if you don't try.
