 The Dash...

At lunch yesterday, from a 30-year FBI guy…. When discussing "making a difference on this planet, in this lifetime," he mentioned a thought that had always meant a lot to him.

"The Dash"


WHAT DOES THE DASH STAND FOR, IN YOUR LIFE?

Maybe the headstone will read, June 17, 1940 - August 7, 2013

Or, Maybe the plaque will read, March 4, 1976 - November 12, 2014

But….

WHAT DOES THE DASH STAND FOR, IN YOUR LIFE?

From our "Date of Birth" until the date upon which we die, there is a fixed amount of "time". If you were to have a gravestone, with those dates chiseled in granite,


WHAT WOULD THE DASH STAND FOR, FOR YOU?

What is in between those two dates? Love, kindness, generosity, holiness, selflessness?

Or, "Here lies Sally, due to her exercise and diet, she had reasonably nice biceps and wasn't too fat, until the fourth day she was lying here, anyway."

Or, "Here lies Jim. He got lucky with some hard work and made some money in his lifetime with a nice title. He's dead now and it meant nothing whatsoever, to anyone else, and certainly no longer to him."


Or, "THIS MAN, THIS WOMAN HID THEIR LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST, IN EXUBERANT, VISIBLE FAITH AND LOVE, DAILY!"



WHAT WILL THE DASH STAND FOR, IN YOUR LIFE?
