20-20 - Not Good Enough

"To be what we are, and
to become what we are
capable of becoming,
is the only end of life."
-Robert Louis Stevenson

Oh, How dreadfully sad if this were true!


"Eat, drink and be merry"
I say... for tomorrow we die!"

Oh, no no no no no! So glad that
quote is NOT true!

There is an eternity ahead of us.
We need to look up to eternity...
...to see this little life in light of it.

There is more to life than being somebody
who inhabits the earth, and who does his
best at being who he is or is yet to be.

It does sound lofty, though.

That I can be all I can be.... and just
think... the possibilities are endless!

And it is true that being all you are capable
of being brings satisfaction, however, a man
with no God knows too little.

But the man who knows God will view
and live life as one who sees with eternity
in mind. For him, 20-20 vision is insufficient.

And who do I pity the most on this old
planet of ours? The one whom Jesus
resurrected from the dead... Lazarus.

He had it so good.

But God will even bring back the dead,
if it will prove a point and point us to Him.

We can be way too near-sighted.


"In Him (Christ) was life, and the life
was the light of men. And the light
shines in the darkness..." John 1:4,5a

"...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless
one is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God." John 3:3
