What If?

September 9, 2025 - I have a lot on my mind this week. Thoughts of "What if?"

What if my life was different? What if I made choices that altered my daily routine? What if, and this is the big "if" this week, today was my last day on earth?

These thoughts come because of the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 - 24 years ago this week.

For anyone old enough to remember, you know exactly where you were when you first heard the news. What the room looked like. Who you were with. The emotions you felt.

Everyday people going about their everyday lives not realizing it would be their last day on earth.

But it isn't just planes flying into buildings which then collapsed that can cause this to happen. It can happen any day, in any place, at any time.

If this sounds a bit dramatic and pessimistic, forgive me. But the reality is, it could happen and it doesn't hurt to be prepared. So here are a few questions to consider as we reflect on those events nearly a quarter of a century ago and the impact they still hold for us today.

1. What would you do if today was your last day?
2. Who would you call?
3. When would you do these things?
4. How would you spend your time?
5. Why would you make these choices?

None of us wants to look at our life in this way. But the reality is that one day, that day will be our last. Being prepared will make all the difference when that day comes.

​

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
