Make My Life Count
On 7th July 2005, terrorists targeted the London Underground Tube system, carrying out coordinated bomb attacks that killed 52 people and injured over 700 others. One of those severely injured was Australian Gillian Hicks.
She was travelling between King's Cross and Russell Square Station when a bomb exploded in her carriage. She lost the lower half of both her legs.
As Hicks waited for paramedics that July morning in the tube wreckage, she made what she describes as a "contract" with herself: if she survived, she would make her life count.
Years after the attack, in a documentary, Hicks reflected on the ways she has done this.
You don’t have to survive a terrorist attack on the London Tube to make that commitment. Let’s decide today to live with purpose; it’s why God created us.
Share this daily- reading.

Personal Note:
Once and again, I encountered Christianity I began losing my penchant for performative living.
While renewing my hard-wiring of false meta- narratives occasioned by some fake societal demands in a post modern outlook, I re-discovered purpose and meaning and belonging with a newer " contract " with greater society. Look no further than Christianity.✅️
