"I wish I were 19 again and knew then what I know now!" We have all heard that
from someone who is older. I'd like to ask, "What is it you know now that would
make life different for you if you were 19 again?" I want to know! Is it that you
finally realize that doing life the right way is actually easier than doing it the
wrong way? I need the wisdom now that you learned along life's way to make
my life more meaningful. There is that wise saying given by Abigail when she
met David in 1 Samuel 25:29, "..the life ...shall be bound in the bundle of the
living with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out,
as from the pocket of a sling."

As we grow older we realize that we too, are bound in the bundle of life. We are
altogether the sum product of what we have lived, whether at 19 or 59. By looking
at someone who has aged in this life, we can determine whether or not they have
been good to the life they have been given. What could you do differently now that
you know? Why not do it right this time! One of your enemies in that sling could be
procrastination.
