recently, someone said to me "you've known a lot of people who have died."
well, yeah. when you know a lot of people, those are the unfortunate odds. at some point, you are bound to know a lot of people who have passed.
sunday evening, news spread that someone who i have known since grade school had passed away. at the age of 29. TWENTY NINE. it seems impossible and it is most certainly unfair. impossible. unfair.
and then my mom sent me this:
Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are and help us to spend them as we should.
~ Psalm 90:12
and it's true.
so make today super awesome.
ready, go.
a psalm for today.
