When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
 "I used everything you gave me."

Erma Bombeck

I can't stop thinking about this quote.
So Profound.  So Convicting.  So Biblical.

Take some time, as I have the last few days, to think about abilities, talents, blessings that you have.
Now, think about why you aren't using every last drop of those things to bless others.
Embarrassment?  Pride?  Laziness?  Excuses?  Time?  Traditions?  Anger?

Let's let go of whatever is keeping us from using our talents and gifts.
There is a lot of work to be done.
