Perspective

My father buried a 25 year old girl today that lost a long battle to cancer. She was a beautiful young lady and was a very close friend of the family. I must admit it was difficult to coach my team tonight. I'm constantly reminded of the brevity of life. I pray that I will have the discipline to keep my life in perspective and to put my energies into the arenas of my life that are eternal. I cannot allow the things of this world that are rather insignificant to index the happiness or lack of happiness in my life. My mantra must be..."Seek ye first the Kingdom of God."
