What is Your Funeral Song?

It was a somber conversation as we added up the celebrities. Michael Jackson. Heath Ledger. Brittany Murphy. In one year, three celebrities have died. All cited for cardiac arrest, but all connected to drug overdose.

This morning, while at the gym, the TV flashed a story about Casey Johnson, and when to use tough love with a child (regardless of age) who is an addict. While the story unfolded this chilling question was presented to ask your child: "What song do you want played at your funeral?"

No one wants to consider this. Especially when you are a teenager. You are invincible!

However, listening to that question this morning, really made me think. No, we don't know what tomorrow holds. But, we can make a choice to live a life that has purpose, that has hope, that has promise.

For the students at 3 Dimensional Life, they are rediscovering purpose, hope and understanding all that life has to offer them - drug, alcohol and destructive behavior-free. It is our hope, prayer and focus that teenagers and families alike find 3 Dimensional Life before Mom and Dad's are left wondering, "what song?".
