If Today Was Your Last Day…

Nickelback basically has two songs: one complains about abuse/resentment/broken relationships & the other inspires listeners to seize the moment and live life fully. Their latest song from the second category is entitled “If Today Was Your Last Day.”

Two lines in the song strike me profoundly: “The first step you take is the longest stride.” & “What’s worth the price is always worth the fight.”

Alex Ladner–a 15-year-old classmate of many of our Midway students–awoke Tuesday morning (06/30) not knowing it would be his last day. He drowned while swimming with friends. May this song and Alex’s death remind us how important today is…it could be our last.

What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. James 4:14b
