Storing up lumber in heaven...

At work right now and just listening to a CD by Eli, and am listening to this song about how to really make use of our time hear on Earth. Thought it was kind of applicable, since some of you have been posting comments about living life to the fullest.

The Lumber Song

Was a man who passed away
St. Peter met him at the gate
Pete said: "Walk with me if you will
I'll take you to the house you built"
Man said: "I can't wait!"
Passed a mansion made of stone
But with each new house he's shown
They get smaller by degrees
Stopped in front of a two room shack
Pete said hope you're happy with that
Man said: "How can this be?"

Pete said:That's all the lumber,
that's all the lumber you sent
Looks like the builder,
man he's got your number
That's all the lumber you sent

Man didn't know what to say
poor guy was blown away
Said: "you mean this is what I deserve?"
Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so
It's too late but now you know"


Just the first verse/chorus. But goes on to say how if he had a chance to do it again, how he'd love God and love people so much more. I really hope that when I die, I won't have those regrets.
