End of my workweek. It’s time to decide what I am going to do. It is also Mardi Gras weekend. There are parades and activities from now until Tuesday night. People will be pouring into the city for everything. Our city is about 160,000 people. They estimate about 500,000 more people will come over the next 5 days. I have been going to Mardi Gras since I was 1 year old. My mom enter me in the cutest baby contest. And I won for the cutest baby girl. I guess there were some ugly girls that year. I am a guy. We have worn costumes and not. We have gone with my parents and friends or with my family. I have seen parades from here to there. A couple of years I was in the children’s carnival as a duke. It’s now called the Krewe of Obrion. All that effort was spent on something that was so fleeting. It came and went. Today it is hard to believe how much money is spent on costumes each year. They say that the Mardi Gras Queen’s costume is about $50,000. The king’s costume is about $25,000. Then there are at least a 12 krewe’s with kings and queens. All of this for one day in their lives. Because they will never be king or queen again in their lifetime. How important is your life to you? What would you be willing to do for yourself? Would you be willing to do whatever it took to please yourself? Then why don’t you see about your after life? Why neglect your spiritual life just to satisfy your carnal life? Do you think that it will end well for yourself if you don’t know God? Life is so short. And there are no do overs. Once your life is gone, it is gone forever. It is time to think about what is going to happen to you. If you can’t see a future then you need to turn to the only person who can give you one. That person is Jesus.
