I remember many years ago as young firemedic, waking up one morning at the fire station I was working at, getting ready to go home. It was the end of my shift, and the beginning of my weekend. The oncoming shift had already been dispatched to one call, and moments later, I found myself responding to the same call, to a scene that would change a lot of lives. Before the tragic events unfolded that cost to good men their lives and left images in the minds of many others, it was just another day.
On a different day at the same fire station, the news comes of a good friend who’s life had been cut short by an act of violence, the type of violence that inspires people to write books and produce movies. But just twenty four short hours prior, it was just another day.
February 16,2020, as I was sitting in a men’s breakfast, I received a phone call from my mom telling me that my father had passed away from a heart attack, but just moments prior, it was just another day.
On a different day, we were all just going about our day as usual, when all of a sudden, I heard the sound of a trumpet, and before I knew what was happening, I along with many others were rising up into the clouds and it was there that I saw Jesus, but just moments prior, it was just another day.
Are you sure that you are ready, for when there will not be “just another day?” Please do not take your eternity for granted. Seek god and be ready.
In Christ, Pastor Mike
