5 REFLECTIONS By Bishop Christian The philosopher and author, Peter Kreeft, gives us some wise advice in pointing out the four most important choices of your life. He says, the four most important choices you make are the ones that make the biggest difference to your life: a God to believe in, a mate to marry, friends to be with, and a career to work at. You give your life to each of them in different ways. Make these choices wisely. For they are not only the tools by which you shape your life, they are also the tools by which your life shapes you. These four choices aren t equal. They are in a hierarchy. No matter how important your job is, it s not a person. No matter how important friends are, they don t give you your kids. No matter how great your mate is, he or she can t save your soul. So don t worship your job, or your friends, or your spouse. And don t marry your friends or your job. And don t feel betrayed by your job.
