Reggie Got it Right

Yesterday was a sad day. Learning of the death of Reggie White at age 43 will make a normal man take inventory in a hurry. Yea, he was a big man - but he was also a world class athelete. He's not supposed to die at age 43. Athletes just aren't supposed to die at age 43 in their sleep. He did. Some reactions to learning of Reggie's death...

1. We can't waste anymore time. Every moment we've wasted is already to many. Let's get to work and get about doing what we're supposed to be doing.

2. Reggie got it right. To the person, as commentators spoke of Reggie yesterday, the comments made about Reggie were, 'he was probably the greatest defensive player to ever play the game, but that was not the best thing about Reggie. The best thing about Reggie was his life off the field.' Reggie was the real deal. He lived his life for Christ on and off the field and people noticed. Michael Irvin said that when he saw Reggie he never wanted to talk about football. He was always more interested in how Micahel was doing in his spiritual life. He added, 'Reggie cared about people'.

The commentators didn't have time to work off of a script. I even heard, 'Christ' mentioned in appropriate ways. That's a life. I hope I can live my life in a way that makes people talk about Christ who otherwise may not have even thought about Him.
Let's learn from Reggie. Let's get it right.
