"When the Game is Over.....it all goes back in the Box"

I have been reading this absolutely amazing book by John Ortberg which I recommend to everyone who wants to dig a little deeper and live their life in a way that makes an eternal difference in the grand scheme of things. I cannot put this book down!


Here's an excerpt from the book:


"fantastic career. A new house. A plush 401k and a secure retirement. Good, all good--but is that what it's all about? No matter how skillfully you play it or how many tokens you acquire, a time arrives when the game of life comes to an end. Now what?

NOW IT ALL GOES BACK IN THE BOX.

No more game cards. No more tokens.

No more promotions, no more financial planning, no more RV's and vacation homes.

Game over.

WHAT DID YOU WIN THAT YOU GET TO KEEP?


This book helps you live with an eternal perspective, keeping your eye on the true prize--


Clearly......one of the best books I've ever read!

Thank you for sharing, and giving a true reality to the rat race that we all get caught up in... it is time to stop, take and make the time to smell the roses, and begin to develop a new list of priorities... I really like the list on the left hand side of the chart...
