bad deals

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
- Mark 8:36-37

if the world is 6000 years old (biblically), by the time you die, you would've lived 1% (assuming you live to around 60 years old) of the entire time that people have been around. 1% is ALOT, especially when you consider how we're taught from young that scientifically the timeframe we live in is an inch out of many miles of the life of the earth.

1%! and if you count from when Christianity began (i take Jesus's death onward, since before that it was judaism): 40 years from now would be 2046, i would be 60, and Christianity would be about 2013 years old; i would have lived 3% of life since Christ died.

oh if i could just impact 3% of the world: 180 million people.
3% of time on earth is mind blowing. I finally feel like a significant number, I finally feel i need to make a difference. I need to pray more :p
