Life In A Nutshell

"I think I've discovered the secret to life--you just hang around until you get used to it." 
—Charlie Brown's sister, Sally

"Much of the time life is like going through the airport steering a loaded luggage cart with one bad wheel. Sometimes you just feel ridiculous, sometimes you actually look ridiculous, and sometimes all you can do is just try to push it in generally the right direction." —Marilyn vos Savant, World’s Record for highest IQ

God has given us His word, the Bible—a book that has much to say about life and how we should live it. 

James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Proverbs 9:10-11 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

We only receive one life, so we need to spend it wisely, doing the will of the Lord and preparing ourselves to meet Him when this life is over.
