Life Could Be Shorter

Life isn’t a guarantee. We don’t know for sure that we will make it home tomorrow. We need to make the most of the time has allotted to us. Take hold of the steering wheel and seize each day! A buddy of mine, John, had a near death experience this past weekend that helped me realized that my time of this earth could be shorter than I thought and need to live each day as such:
I was struggling and kicking like crazy, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. Well many things ran through my head, one being “do I swim sideways, no that’s the ocean… crap what do I do?” then I started thinking “well I guess this is how I go… sucking in salt river pee water!” then it hit me… the rock wall, no literally I hit the rock wall, hard! Then I grabbed a hold of the wall, planted my feet on the side of it and pushed up and to the right. Then I started kicking, and grabbing, and pulling, then I see the dark ring again, and this time it’s getting closer and closer. Then I break through the dark, green, hazy water and find myself in the middle of a different group of people. I hear a voice say “did he pop up yet” I look around and see that there were rescue people at the top of the rock wall just looking down in the water, waiting for me to pop up. No problem, it’s not like I could have used the help, sheesh! I then swam over to my group and saw my wife crying, it was so sad I felt horrible for scaring her like that.
