Apprentice 2 Jesus

Do you ever wonder about the stories in the lives of people you pass?

Today I was driving by a funeral home and there was a crowd outside. Who had died? Was this family? Friends? Both? Was this someone young or old? Dearly loved or tolerated?

So often I want to know the stories of those I read about in the obituaries. I check those just about everyday. I also check the Fortune 500 list. If I am not in either one, I go to work.

Going through the obituaries, I am sobered into my own mortality. So many die young. Too young. Too young is getting older every year for me, too.

What are the stories of those we pass every day? What are their hurts? What are their triumphs? How can God use me in their lives today?
