Recently a group of sociologists conducted a survey among a group of 50 elderly people at a retirement home.  Each was asked to complete an open-ended sentence.  "If I had to do it over again, I would - blank," and they were asked to fill in the blank.  Three answers emerged and dominated the results.

One, I would reflect more. 

Two, I would risk more. 

Three, I would do more things that would live on after I'm dead. 

Good lessons.  How reflective are you?  Do you move through life at such a hectic pace that you never stop to ask what does all this mean?  Is God trying to say something to me in these circumstances? 

What about risk taking? Do you prefer the hell of a predictable situation rather than risk the joy of an unpredictable one?  And the clincher question, what are you doing that will be remembered after you're dead?
