Hebrews 9:27
And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

We take tomorrow for granted. It's on our calendars, filled with events, anticipated with hope or fear. Tomorrow. Think about it for a second. It's a beautiful concept that while we are living in this moment, tomorrow can be anything. But, that's just it though. Tomorrow is a concept. It is a dream. It is something that may or may not be there. Yet, a lot of people live for tomorrow. For what may be or who they could become. But, one day, tomorrow will not come.

This morning I woke up to the news that a buddy of mine was in a car accident and died. He left behind a wife who is 8 months pregnant and another child. I will also be attending a memorial service for a Soldier in our Brigade this afternoon. Days like this are heavy reminders that we are not promised tomorrow. That, today is our chance. The man I want to be "someday" has to be here today. The father I want to be "someday" has to happen today. The Christian I want to be "someday" has to be today. The Soldier I want to be "someday" has to be today. Today. Not tomorrow. You only get this time on earth and then you start the real journey. What are you doing today?
