According to the CIA data bank, America has 8.4 deaths per 1,000 citizens which ranks us 84th in the world for mortality.
Looking at the population figures for the Red, White, & Blue, we have roughly 311.6 million folks living within our borders.
That we know of.
Combining these figures brings
an estimate of 3.7 million funerals this last year.
And one of them was NOT mine.
Or yours.
We're winners.
We're still in the Game.
The Coach hasn't pulled us yet.
We still have something to give.
Something to do.
And since it was our particular DNA in those little carriers that got to the egg first-before millions of others-I'd say we've been winners for sometime now.
So just in case the Look in the rearview mirror is a little depressing, the Look forward can be a little brighter.
God is here.
We're here.
And He's in control.
So let the New Year party begin, eh?
