‘24′ Life Thoughts
I really like 24. I have seen every episode of every season! The season premier was this last weekend. Yes, I will be watching every week. I can handle the wait as I am a pretty patient man… maybe. 
Jack Bauer said something that hit me, “The only reason I fought so hard to stay alive in China (tortured as a prisoner) was so I wouldn’t die for nothing. Today, I can die for something.”
That really spoke to me. I want to live every day of my life to accomplish something. I want it to be that when I die, I can say, “I died for something.” Even more importantly, “I lived for something.”
When I get tired; when I get overwhelmed; when things don’t go my way; when life doesn’t seem fair; when I don’t get what I believe I deserve; when my schedule is ‘overloaded’; when work is too ‘busy’; when I don’t have ‘enough’ money; no matter what the circumstance… I know that I am pushing forward with a purpose in mind. I am enduring with a bigger goal in mind. I am a part of a bigger plan. There is a bigger purpose for my life.
I WILL live. And I WILL die for something worth dying for!
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:12-14
