FUTURE-PRESENT

Max Lucado says a version of something I have heard all my life. "It's what we do in the here and now that will make a difference in the then and there." He is talking specifically about the after-life, and he couldn't be more on track. When we get to "that day", when this life is done, there's no more time to make a difference. Only what we DID will matter.

It's not just true about the after life, however. It's true about right now. I am making my tomorrows by my choices today--in every arena. I make my choices, then my choices make me. I need to be doing NOW what tomorrow will find me wishing I HAD done.

So...back to the task. First things first. Tomorrow starts right now.
