So Others May Live

So I just watched a movie, that I have wanted to see for awhile. "The Gaurdian" great movie. One thing hit me hard. It wasn't the story which was a great one, or the emotional ending. It was the motto of the Coast Guard "So others may live."
It just made me think. These men and women everyday put their lives on the line, work, and train harder than most jobs in the world so others may live. They go out into the raging sea even when the US Navy doesn't go out.
Do we as Christians understand that we have the only true Life? Jesus! Do we understand that to live is Christ?
So I'm sitting here asking myself. Is my life so others may live? Will I go where even the "US Navy" will not, will I go where ever, whenever So Others May Live.
Will I give my life to the ends of the earth in training, working, serving, loving, and sharing So Others May Live?
Will I understand that to Live is Christ, and truly understand that I can live So Others May Live- because to die is gain.

The Golden Arches

Well Amy you are right I am an international blogger.
I went in search of food today walked a few blocks in this really interesting city, and you know what the absolute first place to eat I came across. Yes, that is right McDonalds.
Now I have to say there is something quite comforting in those arches, and the fries. Don't get me wrong I love trying new food, and tasting all of the different country specialties. But... When you have been ordering food that you don't really know what you are ordering, and sometimes its great, sometimes not. Every once in awhile nothing hits the spot like McD's.
What can I say fries are one of my comfort foods.
