For Me to Live is...

The Big Game is today, and it seems that everyone is aware. The advertisers are. The fans are. The foods are, so let the parties begin! Today is living. Today this is what it's all about. Today for me to live is...

What do people live for? It's kind of a fill in the blank question. Some might comment cynically, “I have no interest at all in today's game. Who's playing anyway? I'm so glad cable is now available, because I will be watching a good movie.” Others would say, “For me to live is the Superbowl.” These fans will be dressed in team colors, wear team hats, paint their faces, scream and yell at the top of their lungs at the good or bad plays, and to them, this is living.

But fill in the blank: for me to live is...going fishing; for me to live is reading a book; for me to live is sipping on a fresh cup of coffee overlooking the Smokey mountains; and on and on the list goes. One man from the past commented, “For me to live is Christ.” Interesting, could it be that someone would have such an impact in a person's life that when asked the question, “What do you live for?” they would say that person's name?

Oh, by the way, the big game is today. So, what do you live for? Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
