Main thought of the day:
Never take a moment for granite....live every day to it's fullest and don't be so reserved and careful about every little thing. Make memories and LIVE! Of course, don't be stupid, but really, we have one life to live. Live for the One worthy of living for (Jesus Christ) and have fun! And also, never take anyone for granite, you never know how much longer you have with them.
