The Important Things in Life

I write this post with a heavy heart. Jaye and I spent the afternoon with one of my closest friends in the whole world, Chuck Schwink , and his family. Chuck has bravely battled Stage IV colon cancer for over a year. And, while it seems that the disease is winning the battle, Chuck's courage and dignity are winning the war and they inspire me every minute of every day. What I know for sure is that the important things in life are not what car you drive, how big your house is, or how much money you can accumulate. Those things are fleeting and have no real meaning. The personal relationships you develop and the impact you have on other's lives, those are the real keys to life and happiness. Please keep Chuck and his family in your prayers.
