I wouldn’t waste time.
I would make more art.
I wouldn’t be content to eat my fill everyday while people around me went without food.
I would adopt a child…or two or three.
I would weep over the news.
I would defend my enemy against slander.
I wouldn’t take cheap shots.
I would spend more time listening to creation…hear the trees sing, again…watch the stars dance.
I would learn to say hello in a local language.
I would memorize scriptures to get them into the pathways of my brain and heart.
I would forgive my sister…my friends…my ex-lovers…my parents…my dorm-parents…
I wouldn’t care what my new friends think of me – I would speak truth.
I wouldn’t lie awake at night worried about finances.
I would read the Bible more to find out who he really is.
I would pray with the sick and expect them to be healed.
I would make every word count.
I would take preaching seriously.
I would find my one thing and pursue it relentlessly.
...and you?
