On tuesday It was all over the news that actor Heath Ledger Died. It was crazy and sad all together. I was in my kitchen thinking, this guys was only 28yrs old, I’m 28! He was on his way on becoming a high class actor. Not that he wasn’t already, but I’m talking Denzel, Pacino, status. I wondered like I always do, did he think he’d be around for a long time? Did he plan this? Speculation danced around the media of a possible suicide, accidental overdose etc. Regardless of the “how”, Ledger is gone. There is nothing he can do anymore here on Earth. His time ended. Rather then sit here and debate on his fate, what more of ours. We walk around thinking we are going to live forever. We walk around thinking nothing will ever happen to me. My life is perfect and it will stay that way. Nobody can promise any of that. My hope and trust is in God and him alone. This morning I read a Friends blog on myspace, check it out here. It made me think alot too. If you knew you only had 24 hours to live how would you live today? What would you do? what would you say? So now that you know you probably have a little more the 24 years to live what will you do now? We were created to do great things and I we have to start walking down that path towards greatness, regardless of how long of time we have. Its not in our time but in Gods.
On Tuesday night the Santoyo’s and the Martinez went over to flagship cinemas. Not for service, but to see the movie Cloverfield. It was really good and I must admit it surpassed my expectations. There was only one problem, I could not sit through the movie without my mind working double time. As we sat there and watched the movie I kept thinking how I can mark the music industry. How can I make an impact on the film Industry, how can I become a better motivator both at Life Pointe and at home as a father, leader, husband and friend. How can I get this book idea going. Before you know it the movie was finished and I thought it was great. Imagine if I would’ve payed attention to the whole thing. I have a passion for Jesus, people and the arts and it consumes me everytime I Sit down and try to relax. I want to use my life to the max. This morning Trav shared an insight to another vision and I’m like, “dang”, lets it do it!!!! There’s a price to being a follower of Christ and a dreamer, and its pay off is amazing! I love my wife and son so much for being part of that madness. To think this is just the beginning….”dang”.
