Good Bye, Darrent.
The apostle Paul knew his role on earth, and he told the Philippian church he was focused on what was important. How amazing to be Christ's ambassador on earth, and how wonderful to be in heaven at the feet of God.
Darrent's mother is in the news as she remembers and grieves for her dead son. She thought that Darrent did more in his short life than most, and she attempted to understand his abrupt and heinous end to his life when she told reporters, "maybe that's why he did so much because he knew his time on Earth was limited."
Doing good things, making people smile, these are the qualities of a life well lived. And the fruits of the labors of a man bear witness to the heart of the man. "Dee" Williams gave us all a lesson in living. Too bad some insignificant, immature, punks took his life from us too early.

You have something here. Usually when I see the word “Christ” or "God" in a blog, I click the "Next Blog" button, and yours was no exception. But when, in my mind's eye, I combined the former two with “Darrent Williams,” I clicked the browser's “back” button. I am a secular humanist, which is to say “atheist” nicely, and also a football fan, which is to say “chauvinist” nicely. Your beliefs on a life well-lived seem a curious mirror to mine, given that they're defined in strictly opposed terms.
