HOW COMMITTED ARE YOU?

A couple of weeks ago we did a play at our church . Had a great turn out! A guy by the name of Al played a small roll in it , with only nine words. However , he was great at it , and very committed. You see, Al had Crohn's Disease and was not feeling very well. But he had made a commitment to be a part.

The play was a three nighter. On the last night , Al was really not feeling well and was having chest pains. He thought it was from his meds ( that was one of the side affects ). The director told him he should go home and get some rest. But Al was a fighter and said "No, I have to do this ". He was dragging but did his part anyway.

After the play , his mother took him to the hospital, where he pasted out and went into a coma. Al had came down with Pneumonia and did not know it. He was put into ICU . I am sad to say that Al pasted on Nov. 1,2005. He was 24 years old.

How committed are you? Do you keep your word when you have made a commitment to do something. If it a great task or a small one . This young man has truely challanged me to try and keep my commitments . How about you?
