Life is too short...

The Blind Beggar has a thoughtful post today.  Spurred by the Phillip Brooks phrase "Life is too short," and an article in the newspaper about people making "Life is too short" lists, he started his own and challenged us to do the same.  Mine so far is...

Life is too short...

  • to not saturate my life with the Scriptures and follow the lead of the Spirit no matter the cost
  • to not "be" Jesus where I am right now
  • to not embrace my wife every time I leave and upon every time we reunite...no matter the time between
  • to not be intentional about the legacy I leave for my children
  • to not invest in relationships sacrificially
  • to not forgive and release
  • to not walk in a warm spring rain
  • to not dream big and live with the integrity to be an instrument of seeing that dream become reality

Okay...your turn.  What would your list look like?
