How do you want to be remembered?

How do you want to be remembered?
That question has most likely been asked of everyone within the reach of the blog. If it hasn't yet, it will be. It's a good question. When you leave this earth, what do you want people to say about you. That is what todays song is about. By the way, i figured out how to put music on here so you can listen to it too. Today's song is "Leave Out All the Rest" by Linkin Park. When I got this cd (Minutes to Midnight) this song got my attention imidiatly. A year and a half ago, I lost a close friend in a car accident. Henry Robinson Cart was one of the most amazing kids I have been blessed to know. He went to the same church as me and our youth group orginaized a memorial service for him. Over 200 people showed up and it was amazing to see all the different ways Hanry touched each one of them. As the microphone was passed around, people were brought to tears at the thought of such an awesome kid like Henry being gone. Ever since then, I have been plagued with the question "what would MY memorial service look like if I was to leave this earth tomorrow?"
Here's the challenge, live your life in a way that you could lay your head down for the last time at anytime and be confident that you will be remembered in a possitive manner.
"Live each day like it's your last" seems so cliche, but it is so true. God calls us to devote our whole selves to HIS will. Now let me be the first person to say I DON'T DO THAT. But that is the challenge. This goes back to Sunday when I did "Say" by John Mayer.
Never miss a moment to say I love you.
Never miss an opportunity to help someone else
Never finish anything and not be able to say "I did all I could"
I'm a highschool football player and my coach always says that my teammates depend on me more than I depend on myself. If every teammate can look to the man on his left and the man on his right and say "I know he is going to break his back for me on every play" then you will be succesfull. Take that mentality and try to apply it to your everyday life. Thanks for reading

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
