If Tomorrow Never Comes…
June 19th, 2008 at 12:01am Manchild
Yesterday’s homecoming celebration of Mr. Tim Russert, television journalist and moderator of “Meet The Press,” has inspired this post. To Tim’s wife, Maureen, may God’s love comfort you and your family during these difficult days. To Tim’s son, Luke, may your father’s precious soul rest in God’s peaceful presence always and forever.
Never again will my Sunday mornings be the same without the privilege of watching the one man whose effective example of “personal leadership” has inspired millions of ordinary, everyday people to “Go Get Em!!” May today’s post challenge all who read these words to live without limits, love without conditions, and lead like Jesus Christ did — by example.
If tomorrow never comes, how much more valuable would your yesterday become to you today? If you knew beforehand when your last tomorrow was going to come, what would you choose to do differently with the rest of your todays?
“For the first time,” would you choose to finally face your biggest and deepest fears? Would you challenge the people you love to dig deep enough inside the heart of their gifted souls to unearth the courage needed to learn how to love loving one another?
If tomorrow never comes, how would you choose to live the rest of your life today? Think about it. But please don’t take too long because it’s later than you think.

This is an extremely profound post. As I sit here and think of what my response to your questions might be, I realize that I wouldn’t dare make the choices now that I would make under the circumstances that you’ve described. This is very revealing and says a lot to me. I will have to reflect on this more. Wow. Great post and thank you.

Very excellent post! These are the kinds of questions that people tend to avoid. Thanks for taking them head on!
As I got ready to go to church this morning I thought of Tim Russet, May he rest in peace.
