On my mind...

for various reasons.

Phil. 1:18b-26 "Yes, and I will rejoice, ¹⁹for I know that^A)"> through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, ²⁰as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. ²¹For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²²If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. ²³ I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. ²⁴But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. ²⁵ Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, ²⁶so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again."

Our "glorified bodies." lolI think it's just starting to occur to me just how much my life was and will be affected by that summer. (perhaps ironic for those who have been around me and seen it).

my way of thinking about life and death really is different than others'!

and I hope my life can have as much of an impact as some of those before me.

thanks John, for your example.
