Life Is Too Short

You know my favorite radio station is KLOVE with the recent post about the KLOVE Fan Awards. I love all the DJs on that station. They inspire and put smiles on my face. Their saying is that they are encouraging and uplifting, and they are. So, I was shocked yesterday morning when I heard the DJ who wasn't the normal DJ for the overnight hours say the DJ for that spot had passed. I heard him on Friday morning. I read his obit a little while ago. He had simple shoulder surgery on Monday and was home when someone checked on him and he was gone. He is in my Savior's arms now. His name was George Rath, a wonderful Christian DJ. He will be sorely missed. He was 62. It brings to focus on how short life is and how our lives are nothing more than a vapor as we traverse this life on gossamer wings. Are you making the most of your life? Thanks for reading.

Yes, life is short. The older I get the more I feel it. We have to enjoy life now.

As I grow older, I do feel time moving faster. I look back and wonder about the things I didn't accomplish or should have done. There are regrets but then I see my children and grandchildren and I tell myself it was worth it.

I am not a fan of surgery for anyone but the very young, too many side effects from the anesthesia. and the potential for blood clots.

I am so sorry, he was still young. Same as Josefina, I feel the time moving faster, as you approach the end of the roll, it moves faster and faster.

Yes, he was. I heard him on air on Friday waiting to get into the Y. A definite shock. He had a great on-air personality.

It's funny how radio can touch us like that. It is a really human connection though. The cheery voice that says what you were listening to and reads the weather can be a great comfort. I'm so sorry that the dj passed away. He must have touched a lot of people.

I try to at least find something to smile about each day. They say it gets easier but the summer for me is now always the hardest to get through.

Spiritually, when fear replaces hope as the predominant emotion in looking forward. When both health and hope are gone, life seems to be short.

No fear in this case. He was only short in years. I agree that fear and health problems rob you of good days and life becomes too short.
