Short time

As you may have heard....Gene Upshaw, Executive Director of the NFL Players Association, died last night at 63 from pancreatic cancer.





Upshaw did not learn of the fatal growth until Sunday. After a hall of fame career as a guard for the Oakland Raiders and then a quarter of a century at the top of the players union the end came that quickly.
It reminds me that each day is a gift that we, all too often, take for granted and waste. Each time we wake we have a mandate to use that time for the glory of the Kingdom, and we never know just when the sand will run out of our hourglass.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Upshaw family in the coming days and weeks. But my prayer is also that I be the best sterward I can be of the time given to me.

See Ya.
