You're not ready to die until you have lived for something that will outlive you long after you are gone. Howard Hendricks told me when I was an ambitious young man to look for things to do that if you don't do it, nobody else will. If there are plenty of people who can and will do something, look somewhere else to invest your life. Pursue a unique calling. I've heard many preachers say there are only two things in this world that will last for eternity-God's Word and the souls of men and women. Living for the Kingdom of God beats living for anything else that will fade away. Excerpted from "Live for What Outlives You," the story of how Pine Cove Christian Camps began in East Texas.
