I did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill - my share of losing. But now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. SINATRA How you have fallen from heaven, you morning star, ???? son of the dawn! How you have been cut down to the ground, you conqueror of nations! 13 You thought, "I'll go up to heaven and set up my throne above God's stars. I'll sit on the mountain far away in the north where the gods assemble. 14 I'll go above the top of the clouds. I'll be like the Most High." 15 But you've been brought down to Sheol, to the deepest part of the pit. 16 Those who see you stare at you; they look at you closely and say, "Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms, << Isaiah 14 >> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The bible  the source of truth Bible words and bible explanations are unpopular. Attempts to substitute bible words and explanations can lead to great confusion...however, bringing thoughts and ideas INTO CAPTIVITY is something that the bible believer must practice in order to "keep abreast of truth". ++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the movie Surrogates < CLICK IT the idea of people living through human like robots is explored....it brings to mind the bible verse in the form of the question.... do you know that as a christian beleiver your body is possesed by the HOLY SPIRIT << 1 Corinthians 6 >> 19 Don't you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don't belong to yourselves. 20 You were bought for a price. So bring glory to God in the way you use your body. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pride a disease of the will or why I can't have my way << 2 Timothy 4 >> 1 I solemnly call on you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead. I do this because Christ Jesus will come to rule the world. 2 Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach. 3 A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 4 People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths. 5 But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work. 6 My life is coming to an end, and it is now time for me to be poured out as a sacrifice to God. 7 I have fought the good fight. I have completed the race. I have kept the faith. 8 The prize that shows I have God's approval is now waiting for me. The Lord, who is a fair judge, will give me that prize on that day. He will give it not only to me but also to everyone who is eagerly waiting for him to come again. COMPARED WITH THIS !!!?? it sounds good...right, but.... And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain. My friends, I'll say it clear; I'll state my case of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full - I've travelled each and every highway. And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets? I've had a few, But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course - Each careful step along the byway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, When I bit off more than I could chew, But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill - my share of losing. But now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that, And may I say, not in a shy way - Oh no. Oh no, not me. I did it my way. For what is a man? What has he got? If not himself - Then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows And did it my way. Yes, it was my way.
