Life Can Be Fleeting (2) or Was It Worth It?

Sunday afternoon we received a call from a young woman stating that she was the niece of Jack Phillips of Indiana. Jack had been one of Steve's original partners in Summit Solutions. He was a soccer player. He was retired. They (he and his wife Darla) were selling their home in Indiana to go live in the one they had recently purchased in Florida. He took a flight to Minneapolis and back Saturday morning so he could earn credit toward his frequent flier status. After returning from Minneapolis, he went to the soccer field to play. He never returned - he died on the field. He was 63. Wow! It really makes us stop and think. Steve has wanted to get out of the businesses that he owns, but now he is really primed. He said this week that he didn't want to go out of this wolrd working. I imagine that this all has set some wheels turning in his mind.

We sure don't know when the Lord will call us home. I guess it should be motivation to get our spiritual house in order (I can't even get my physical house in order!). I have to get to the point where I am thinking what is more importantly ETERNALLY.
