Being Remembered

Whenever there's a major sporting event, such as this weekend's British Open golf championship, I am often reminded of those sports figures from the past. The exploits of Bobby Jones and the colorful antics of Walter Hagen in golf; "The Georgia Peach" (Ty Cobb) and "The Sultan of Swat" (Babe Ruth) of baseball fame; the Green Bay Packers' excitable Vince Lombardi and the Dallas Cowboys' stoic Tom Landry, to name but a few. I have always been intrigued by the sports heroes and scapegoats that came before us, and in knowing that our current superstars and lovable losers will someday be nothing more than a name from the past, to our future generations.

When our time on earth is done, what mark will you have left behind? What will you be remembered for? Did your impact on someones life effect them in such a way that you are being talked about years after your passing? Let's lead a life that is similar to Jesus', in that He is still being talked about, adored, and worshiped 2,000+ years after He last walked the earth.
