‘Time to do it is now’

Dear Editor:

Kaboom! The van shuttered as a big buck bounced off the windshield and flew through the air into the ditch. Shaken but alive I paused to give God the glory for preserving my life once again.

I watched the shattered windshield swaying in the wind as I shook bits of glass off my coveralls. I realized right then that had I been travelling any faster, that surely the deer would have gone right through the windshield, crushing me.

It reminded me that we all are just a breath away from eternity and that if we want to reserve a spot in heaven the time to do it is now.

Tomorrow may be too late.
