Consider what kind of imprints we are making with our lives. Our legacy will not be about the words spoken at a memorial service. But rather the impressions we leave on the hearts of those around us. What kind of footprints are we leaving behind... for others to follow?

Do Not Be Counted Among The Foolish
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
I agree Paul, I do not want to be counted as one of the foolish, but I find that sometimes the closer you get to God, even the church family thinks you are foolish, but in Christ,s eyes I want to be known as being his. I am not one of those who wants to be ashamed of the gospel.
Brian, Thank you for sharing that. Many people will not understand and sometimes there will be feeling of rejections as you walk closer and closer to the Lord. Keep your eyes on the Lord and He will lift you up to higher ground. KEEP BEING A BLESSING TO OTHERS... even if those blessings our not returned my them. THE LORD WILL SURELY CONTINUE TO LEAD YOU AND BLESS YOU. Keep leaning forward for the Lord... some around you will leaning backwards... but you must press on for His glory, brother.
