Rushing, slowing, redeeming the time

Lately, I feel like I am way too busy- however these are the decisions that I am making in my life. Funny as I was driving home I was flipping the radio stations and landed on an old familiar yet uncanny song...I'm in a Hurry and Don't Know Why, oh I rush and rush until life's no fun, all I really got to do is live and die and I'm in a hurry and don't know why. Earlier I went to a viewing of a dear woman in my church. She suddenly passed away either Monday night or Tuesday morning and she was fine at church on Sunday. Our life is truly but a vapor- we are here one day and gone the next yet the present continously keeps going by. Even as I write the present flees and everything I have just written is in the past...but then I'm reminded in the Word of God to redeem the time- being wise in decisions. Truly I don't think of life after death much- the reality of heaven. It is hard thing for me to grasp as I live in the present- truly life without eternal life would be depressing- prasie the Lord for eternal life through Jesus Christ!
