You are where you choose to be.


January 17
 
     “He is 18, on drugs, is unemployed and has been arrested for stealing. She is 17, pregnant by him and drinks heavily. Both are school drop outs.”
 
The speaker, a minister, lecturer, and author, is addressing a men’s retreat. He asks, "You are the parish priest and this couple comes before you, wanting get married. What do you tell them?
 
After the laughter fades, he says “That couple was my wife and I twenty three years ago.” His point is  we are in life exactly where we have chosen to be.
 
Life is a result of the choices we make. We can choose to believe or not. It is our choice.
 
“He who believes in Him is not condemned but he who does not believe is condemned already…” (John 3:1)
