Acknowledging our mortality gives us the opportunity to reflect on what really matters. So much fades out of our focus in moments like this.

I’m convinced our responsibility is to be present. To see each other. To connect deeply. To laugh together. Cry together. And enjoy the small moments of life that God has given us knowing every breath is a gift and we all live on borrowed time.

An intentional life is a good life, not without deep pain and heartache, but I believe that is where God lives every day.

God bless brother. I’ll shed tears for you tonight.
