"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your (the Lord's) throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O Lord." -- Psalms 89:14-15

You live once.  And while your birth dictates some of what life experiences you'll have (family, nationality, childhood socioeconomic status), at some point, your choices begin to trump your circumstances.  At a certain age, you choose the life you will live, and you can live for Good, or you can live for Evil.  You can live for self, or you can live for others.  You can grab and gobble up and destroy everything you possibly can while living and leave the world with the odor of bad gas when you die, or you can share in the creative work of building, sustaining, and healing things that support life and leave a legacy of goodness when you go.  You can choose righteousness or you can choose folly.  You can choose Life or you can choose death.  It's your life.  What's your choice?  Live well.
