Transformation

Was preparing for tonight's sharing...
and the topic - TRANSFORMATION

and

Came across this passage...

Ivan McGuire died at the age of 35. His death at a young age was not due to an automobile accident or from terminal illness. He was not murdered, nor did he commit suicide. The skydiver forgot to put on his parachute before he jumped out of an airplane.

McGuire, who aspired to be the best sky-diving photographer in the country, evidently was so excited over filming some other skydivers that he just failed to put on his parachite. Since he was a veteran of over 800 jumps, he may not have been as careful as a novice would have been to check and recheck all of his equipment.

It is hard to imagine that a seasoned sky-diver could forget to put on his parachute!

Few thoughts that bug me after read this passage;
1. am i too comfortable at where i am right now and did not guard my heart?
2. did i unbuckle my belt of truth? am i still holding my breastplate of righteousness?

I guess sometimes when we are in a situation or a place for too long we tend to get use to you and did not do a check on our equipments.
Got to remind myself to check my equipments for safety purposes =)
