The Money Chase

I always knew I was going to die eventually. And I thought I would be able to retire someday, I spent a lot of my time chasing money and making sure my retirement funds were secure and loaded, and very little time on my spiritual needs. However, now cancer has probably stolen my retirement. Now I realize my retirement is not guaranteed, but my death is. I am one of the lucky ones. I have been given the time to get my spiritual life in order before I die. Some of you may not be so blessed. A car wreck or a heart attack may rob you of the time you need to get your spiritual needs in order. I have been blessed with time to live some of my life focusing more on the spiritual than physical. I can testify it’s been a comfort to put my spiritual needs before chasing money. Of course, I had many items that made this possible for me, including, but not limited to, ownership in two companies that have been able to supplement my long term disability (LTD policy) as well as a loving and devoted wife who sees to my needs 24/7, and my overall health otherwise.

As I look back I can clearly see none of this was by accident or luck or simple good fortune. It is obvious to me a master plan is being carried out by my creator. To think anything else would be arrogant.
