We like choices, and God gives us plenty of them. From foods to eat, flowers to plant and enjoy to different kinds of pets, the Lord has given us many options. There are even other options like places to live, jobs to hold, schools to attend, channels to watch, etc. But some things none of us can avoid, even though many of us try. We must all come to grips with these non-optional aspects of life. They are matters of life and death.
