So a friend and I were chatting one night, and we were talking about how you would want to be remembered. When you die, what do you want people to say? That he was hard working? Nice? Or will it be something else? He wasn't there. He was an angry man. He wasn't happy.
Since, then I've decided to put a little more thought into it. The first things that sprang to my mind are some of the things I've already mentioned. Hard working, happy, funny. While those are all nice and good they seem so mediocre. If I died now for the most part I would just be remembered as another kid. When people think back on me and the impression I left on them, I want it to be unique.
I want to be known as a man who made a difference. As someone who did what he could. I want to be remembered as a humble man, who went after God with everything he had. I want to be remembered as someone who was always there when you needed help. Someone who always had a good word to say. Someone who loved people.
This is the legacy I want to leave behind.

Hey! Just came across this today and thought that you might enjoy it:
"The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is the character of a man. What a man is survives him. It can never be buried." -J. R. Miller
Great blog, by the way! ;-)
