“It’s just a shame that this happened to him.” And what was it that happened to him. He had a stroke and died two days later. Sure he was in the football hall of fame, led Oklahoma to two national titles. So what?! Death claims us all. We just don’t know when. Sometimes it is suddenly and totally unexpected. Other times it is slowly. But it happens to every person. No exceptions. And society (and others) act surprised when it occurs. It is just not supposed to happen. At least, others act that way. We just don’t know when it is going to happen. And it is always a shock.

Every thing is a privilege and it is so easy to take every privilege we have for granted until we lose it. I was so used to have the internet until our computer broke down. Now there were all kinds of things I could no longer do: for one I no longer had E Mail, something I use every day.
I did not have access to my stored files. I could no longer access the internet. All of this I took for granted when the truth was every thing I have is a privilege. Every thing is by grace.
There are so many other things that are privileges, simple things: like being able to type, talk, move. My aunt lost all those abilities when she had a severe stroke. Everything is a privilege and often we don’t understand that until we lose that privilege. Everything is by grace. And may I never forget that.
