Life is Short

As most of you already know there was a shooting in my home town, Seal Beach, on Wednesday October 12.  Eight people were killed in the shooting.  I have lived in Seal Beach my whole life and nothing like this has ever happened.  It was a shock for the whole city.  One of the victims was the mother a girl who I graduated with.  Although the shooting brought a lot of pain and sadness it also taught me that life is short.   It say in Psalm 139:16 that "all the days ordained for me were written in your book".  Only God knows when our last day will be.  Knowing this has encouraged me to not only live life to the fullest but to reach the lost.  Some of the people who were killed in the shooting were not believers and that breaks my heart knowing that there life was cut short and now there is no way for them to find Christ.  I really want this traumatic event to be an encouragement for all of us as a group.  We, as a group, need to reach those who are lost.  In my opinion, to live life to the fullest cannot be done without Christ because without Him our lives are empty.  Let us reach the lost so them too can live lives of fullness.  Please continue praying for Seal Beach.  My hopes are that this event will bring many to Christ.  Thank you for taking time to read this post.  I love you all.
