Y.O.L.O.F.O.G.

     Now, you're probably wondering what the acronym Y.O.L.O.F.O.G. stands for. I'm going to naturally assume that you've heard the acronym Y.O.L.O, which stands for "You Only Live Once." Well, Y.O.L.O.F.O.G. means pretty much the same thing, except not really. This acronym, coined by yours truly, stands for "You Only Live Once For Our God." I thought of it while on the long drive home after a Mens' retreat I was invited to with a couple guys from church. The whole weekend we talked about the war that rages stronger now than ever between God and the world. It was a long and sometimes brutal talk, but the truth is, the war rages on and the only was to stop it is to rescue people for the kingdom of God and His army.
     Now, you could go around making stupid decisions claiming "Y.O.L.O." every time, but what's the point? You only live once? That's your reason? I can almost guarantee that you won't feel that way if someone gets seriously injured or pregnant. And what's the point? It's a selfish existence. YOU only live once? Isn't the point of life to live for more than just yourself? Isn't the only way to truly live for others to live for God?
    We only live once, so why not live for the man who gave His life so that you may live period. You only live once, no, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE FOR OUR GOD.
