As you read this, it is three days until Bedlam. But I'm not really in a Bedlam kind of mood right now. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch 50/50. It's about a guy who has cancer and it chronicles the pain both physically and emotionally that people go through during this situation. It makes you cry, it makes you think, it makes nothing else really seem important.
This week is supposed to be all about football. How this game is the biggest in OSU history. If OSU wins, it earn its first Big 12 Championship, it's first BCS Bowl, and maybe, with a little luck, a National Championship opportunity. But none of that seems to matter right now after watching 50/50. The only things that continue to pop up are God, Family, and Friends.
The possibility and actuality of death makes you think. Earlier today a student on our campus was killed while riding his motorcycle. A couple weeks ago four more members of our OSU Family died in a plane crash. My Grandad died from Pancreatic Cancer. Death makes us think, makes us realize what's really important in life. And it's not football. It's not earning prestige in Call of Duty or being the most popular person on campus.
Don't forget what's really important in life.
Faith in God and living for Him, Your Family, and Your Friends are more important than Bedlam.
