I was able to piece together some of the “moves” they had made to climb the ladder of success. A marriage to someone big in the industry here, a friendship with a big player there. When you combine that with some talent you very likely have yourself a star (how bright or long that star shines is a different story).

Then it came into my mind – if this person was not a Christian then they had actually climbed down the ladder of success during their lifetime. They had failed in their ultimate achievement…and now it was all over. No more hits, no more crowds, and alas – no more chances.

What misery to work so hard just to have it all turn to ashes in your hands at the moment of death. Let us all put the ultimate achievement at the head of our lives – let us all follow Christ and achieve true happiness through the glory of God.
