Scripture lesson: Psalm 90:10-12

Time to reflect: I just saw a t-shirt on one of our young adults that says “Eat well, get exercise, die anyway.” Psalm 90. We do die, no matter what. The issue is how we live before them. One saying I heard once is “What are you doing with your dash?” The “dash” is the dash between your birthday and death day on your tombstone.

Moving Through The Day: Right the obituary you would like to have written when you die. Now go out and live your dash to the fullest.

 The length of our days is seventy years—
       or eighty, if we have the strength;
       yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
       for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

 Who knows the power of your anger?
       For your wrath is as great as the fear that is due you.

Teach us to number our days aright,
       that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
