Choices, Choices, Choices!
Deut. 30:14-20

Life is full of choices in our life. Although they don't start as much in our early life, they make up a great part of our latter life. Will I go to school or work today? To church? What do you want to eat? To drink? To wear? etc. We have to make choices! Don't we?

"I don't care, suprise me." This seems to be a favorite saying of many. What about, "you choose for me, it doesn't matter."

All these are examples of how we approach decisions in our everyday life. Do you ever flip a coin? Toss a die to see what to do? We need to make good choices with our lives and make them now!
