Scared?

What scares you? I am a big guy and not a lot scares me. In fact, I sometimes seek out certain situations that might invoke a degree of fear. For an example when most people have to go the church building past dark they walk in and try to find the first light switch available. Not me, when I have to go the building past dark I don't turn on the lights. There is a degree of excitement walking through the old main building, especailly the kids wing, not knowing what the darkness has in store for you. I love haunted house, scary movies and hearing strange noises at night. I am not afraid of accidential things like car wrecks, afterall I ride with Shane frequently. If you can survive going 120 mph and cutting up, under and around two eighteen-wheelers on the interstate, you get over that fear pretty quick. I love to fly on a plane, if I could afford to I would fly everywhere. It would cut my drive time from Hickory Hills to work down to about a minute and half. I am probably sounding like a crazy man at this point but stay with me.
I may not be afraid of the darkness, "scary" things, car wrecks, plane rides or death but there is one thing that scares me to the deepest part of my soul....experiencing life ALONE. This past saturday my wife threw me a "surprise" birthday party. It really wasn't a complete surprise since my dad and Kevin are terrible liars. But when I got off the elevator and saw all the people there for me I was speechless, which doesn't happen very often. I was speechless because what do you say, what can you say about people who care about you to give of their time to be a part of your life.
Think about it what makes events in life so grand. Things like sports, movies, concerts, meals, church, work, etc... Sharing it with other people. Who wants to watch the big game and not talk to someone about the outcome or complain about the poor officiating? What wants to eat alone all the time? Who wants to work day in and day out alone, without the office enivornment or a co-worker getting on your nerves? No one! Life if fun and fulfilling because of the people that we share it with.
Who do you enjoy sharing life with? Let them know that you enjoy, cherish and appreciate their friendship. Pray that God grants you many more days to enjoy life and the relationships that make them worth living.

At the end of day God is still God, and He is good!
