Life and Death at 30-something


One of my classmates passed away the other morning. Kid was 34. Andrew Taylor. He was a few grades ahead of me, but I feel this one pretty hard. Died of colon cancer. Thirty-four. I am not invincible. I face my mortality every day and can be shipped to my eternal dwelling place at any given moment. It only takes a second to take us out.

I feel bad for his family, his two sisters and mom and dad. I can't imagine what they feel right now. At least they are comforted in the fact that he knew the Lord and is chillin' in Heaven with Jesus right now.

Moral of the story: Enjoy life while I can and worry about the ish that matters. And most importantly, get right with God before it's too late.
