The Book
I confess I have never even opened the Guinness
Book of World Records. Some say that is
fascinating. Well maybe it is, but at this point
in time I find myself drawn to other works.
Having said all of that I am somewhat curios
about what motivates a person to set records that
to me seem so fruitless. One person collected
2561 different brands of chewing gum. One
individual was able to hold two Cessna air crafts
in his mouth by cables while the planes engines
were running at 2400 RPMs for 3 seconds. Another
man performed 21,633 tricks with a Yo-yo in three
hours and someone else holds the record for the
longest apple peel of 52.51 meters. One question
comes to mind "So What?" I would hate
to think that my life would be defined by some
feat that for all practical purposes has not made
the world a better place to live, just so that my
name would appear in the Guinness Book of World
Records One may have his name in the Guinness
Book of World of Records but what about the book
of life? The one that God will someday open and
go in search for your name. Will he find it
written there?Come see us Sunday.
