Dog-eared Pages

If this life is all there is, then everything will eventually burn up in the death of the sun and no one will even be around to remember anything that has ever happened.  Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught.
     Unless there is God.  If the God of the Bible exists...then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.  That is what the Christian faith promises.
