At the time of recording, we are nearing the end of the year. Rather than dwell on that particular ending, I am forced to ponder the larger picture of endings and last things. So much of our world is focused upon the "now." We lose sight of where we are going, and thus also lose perspective on what is important.
When we focus on the Last thing, or the endings, we gain perspective. We gain more than that. This focus isn't limited merely to the end of our life or current project, but also includes endings of projects, parenthood (at least in the house), employment, etc. All things must pass. When we forget that fact we can be consumed by attention to the unimportant.
In this episode I consider several last things, starting with the ending of the Old Testament and the beginning of the day of Jesus. I offer you 5 reasons why you should think about the last thing of whatever project you are working on right now. Start with the end, and gain important perspective about what to do in the "now."
