Before You Leave Your Life

About this sermon

Over and over I have witnessed men and women, particularly at midlife, who get the existential-itch, more-meaning-itis, and greater-purpose-pains. They have climbed the ladder of success, as it has been said, only to find it is leaning against the wrong wall. They have outward success but can't seem to internalize it. They are surrounded by so many people yet feel so alone. They have achieved, acquired and arrived and yet that damn Talking Heads song keeps ringing in their ears: And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?" Saying to themselves, "My God! What have I done?" So, they set sail for the better job, the better spouse, the better circumstances. And they sail, and sail, and sail. They hit port after port, "looking for love in all the wrong places" – how many songs can I cram in one blog? Eventually, when there's no more wind in their sails, they drift, and sometimes, like my dad, they sink. But it doesn't have to be this way, it shouldn't be this way. Don't live your life this way.
