Before You Can Blink

Wow!! Time really does fly by doesn't it? It seems like just yesterday I was writing about state, but that was over a month ago. State was fun. We all had a good time hanging out in the hotel. The race was wet, muddy and cold. It rained, ironically, from when we got off the bus until we got back on to leave.
I have been thinking recently about just how quick life passes us by. The Bible tells us that our lives are a mist, that is on this earth for just a little while. Then we are gone. Yet, we still live the way we do. We still live not thinking about our actions. We live for the moment not for the future. We don't think about what we say until after we say it. I am so stupid. If I have a dream that I want to fulfill, then why do I not live in a way that will fulfill that dream. How can I expect to do well when I run a race, if I don't run well in practices. How can I expect to do well in classes if I only do the minimum and don't work to the glory of God. Why do I do that? Why do I live for the moment, and then expect great things in the future? I feel like I could go on forever, but I really should go to bed. Keep thinking about what I am saying. I'll come back to it soon.
