What a horrible tragedy is the death of Steve Irwin. Not for his family but for everything he did during his short life. I wanted to cry when I heard the news yesterday morning. I am still somewhat stuned if the truth were known. Just a good reminder that no one is imune to death and you never know when today might be your last. I only wonder if he was a Christian???

As Coniah means, Jehovah is creating, so I welcome each new day as a chance to be hewn and polished a little more into the Lord’s vision for me. May I be willing to submit! Have you ever thought about what it would be like to return to your childhood where life is carefree and you have time to wonder at the simple things of life? I do and sometimes I think I come close. I love adventure. I see wonder is little things all around me and even more I see humor in the common. Working in the field of health care surrounded by death on a regular basis has really cemented in my mind that to really everyday to it’s fullest is the only way to go. I love friends and family, rain, mountains, an evening with a good book, and too many more things to list.

I know... I was discussing this with one of my patients at the hospital last night, we were both saying how there are no guarantees about anything--you could be the healthiest person alive and death could take you just like that.
How crucial to know where you will be going!
May God be near that family!
Thanks for commenting Kristi sorry it took me so long to respond. You know I was having trouble with this blog so I wasn't trying to ignore you.
They buried him last week at the zoo and I think it's Tues. that they are having a public memorial.
So much truth in leaving each day as if it were your last. And that it really is how we spend our dash (between the numbers on our tombstones) that really matters.
