Ponder Points

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

Just read this article about a young man named Todd Doxey. Doxey was supposed to put on a uniform for the Oregon Ducks, but due to a tragic accident that took his life away Doxey was unable to play. Although he wasn't there his presence was felt. What happens when our lives come to an abrupt halt? what will we be remembered for? I loved this quick insert that was in this article, made me think about the book "One Month to live" See what the coach of the Ducks had to say about Doxey:

______________________________________________

"The impressive thing is that, for the last eight weeks, we've heard all these people talking about Todd," Oregon coach
Mike Bellotti said. "But they're not talking about how he died. They're talking about how he lived."

What kind of legacy am I leaving behind? If there is going to be one word that people will remember me by what will that one word be?
