Olympic torch

There are some times all you can do is dehydrate yourself crying because you can feel that there has been some great changes in your life. Maybe you feel wrecked but you know that these changes were necessary and that your life will never be the same again.
I have experienced that several times. I can't say that it happens too often but there are some cases.

I am reading a book Live Life on Purpose by Claude Hickman and there is a story about the Olympic torch - a great tradition of the Olympics. One runner pass it to another and that is a way how it travels all around the world. It would be something incredible if somebody lost that torch or would just think it is not worth running and giving it to the next person.
It is the same with the message about the Christ that has died for our sins. You hear the message and it is up to you what are you going to do next. Are you going to live a life as nothing has happened? Will you put that torch aside and say that you will pass it later - after finishing some school, after finding some really cool job or just in a time when there will be more free time?
It is up to you. But the importance of this message is even higher that the importance of passing on the Olympic torch not to spoil one tradition of the Olympics. It is a question of eternity. If you have received that joyful message you know how it can change both the life on Earth and the way how you pass eternity. There are many people that still haven't heard that message.
