15 days and alive again

Posted on 27 January 2010 by Tommy Bowman

You probably heard that a teenage girl was pulled from the rubble after 15 days. I can’t believe it when I see people continuing to be pulled out alive after days without food and water.

It made me think about what a life-changing event that must be and what so many of our lives are about and not about. I asked myself the question, what would my life look like if I was “presumed dead” for over 2 weeks but was back to life again? We live too often with the assumption that tomorrow is coming and that there is enough time ahead of us to make an impact…

…but what if there wasn’t? If you were presumed dead for 2 weeks and given back your life, what changes would you make?

    Weren't we presumed dead before Christ and then given a new life…my question would probably be, have we done it differently?

    Didn't think I needed to state this, but it wasn't intended to start theological debate. I don't disagree with your statement. Was meant purely for personal reflection: might be anywhere from "I would get out of debt" to "I will stop being disobedient, and begin to live in the center of His will where faith is most required."
