Seize the day: A life of why not?

I was in church a couple of weeks ago and the pastor was talking about 'what would you do if you had only one month to live' and that got me to thinking... A lot. And one of my day-dreamy thots centered around him covering the part abt needing to "Live a life of why not".

As we all know, this can be interupted in a good way and a not so good way. I'm going to skip for not the not so good way and focus on the good. So... Why not lead a life saying "why not" instead of trying to justify the "why"!??! You want to take your family on a trip... Why not. Want to go see your mom more... Why not? Want to buy your kids something ungodly expensive... Why not? Now of course your answer may be bc you physically cannot do it but that's another story. But... Wanna ride on a motorcycle... You want to open your heart to someone but are scared... WHY NOT!? You and your spouse want to have a baby... Why not?

Take some chances... Live 'dangerously' (yet safely). Have no regrets. Don't be saying in 10 years, I wish I would have blah blah blah... Or if I had that chance again... Take the chances now!! Live like there really might not be a tomorrow, according to the guidelines, morals, principles you so choose. But don't constrict yourself to a life of regret and disappointment because you think you can't or are not ready. You'll never be ready!!! Just do it!!! You will NOT have the chances and opprotunities later that you have now! Life will not wait around for you till you think-you-might-could-maybe-thinking-about-wanting-to-somehow-someday be ready!

Get to living!!! Get to loving!! Get to loving your life. God doesn't want to hear from you I wish I woulda _____...

Seize the day.

Here's a moment where I took my chances... In NOLA. Who dat!!??

I turned 39 on this day...almost __, can't even write it. I liked your writing on this day, because I too realized something...I'm already dead. That happened when Christ found me, I died with Him. Then was raised with Him as a new life. Every breath and step with the creator.
I've enjoyed your blog, sorry I haven't kept in touch. Hope you are doing well! Scott P
