A Moment in Time...

This entry is dedicated to my cousins Kathy, Chad, and Chris who are dealing the with loss of their Dad, Jerry. Jerry past away last night at 8:45PM with his children by his side. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Kathy, Chad, and Chris today. We are truly sorry for your loss.

I was running errands yesterday - alone - and had the luxury of listening to the radio instead of the kids DVD player. With thoughts of Jerry on my mind and the recent loss of Colette's Mom, Chris, I heard the song 100 years by Five for Fighting. As I listened to the lyrics of the song, I was so moved at the truth of the words in that song. We are here for just a moment in time, even if you are blessed enough to live 100 years - It still goes so quickly! Here are some the lyrics of that song...

""I'm 15 for a moment, Caught in between 10 and 20, And I'm just dreaming, Counting the ways to where you are.

I'm 33 for a moment, Still the man, but you see I'm a they, A kid on the way, A family on my mind.

I'm 45 for a moment, Chasing the years of my life,

Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise, Another blink of an eye 67 is gone. The sun is getting high, We're moving on... I'm 99 for a moment, Dying for just another moment, And I'm just dreaming, Counting the ways to where you. There's never a wish better than this, When you only got 100 years to live.""

We never know when our "moment" will be over. God bless Jerry Ferguson today, and welcome him into your kingdom!
