Stayin Alive or Biting the Dust?

Many many years ago, in a state not so far away, I wasn't a missionary (gasp!).  Yes, once upon a time I was a real person that did things other than preaching the gospel.  One of those things was working at the local recreation center as a pool coordinator.  While working at the pool, I was able to become certified as a CPR instructor.  Last night, I was thinking about the 2 songs used when doing CPR.  I realize this sounds a little strange, but hear me out.

The compressions for CPR are supposed to be about 100 beats per minute.  An easy way to know if you are doing that is to get a rhythm going in your head.  There are 2 songs I know that are the exact beat needed when doing CPR, "Stayin Alive" and "Another One Bites the Dust."  Obviously, one of them is a LOT more encouraging then the other....

Being an acronym lover, CPR has become a whole new thing while on my mission.  It usually stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation,  which keeps us alive physically.  In mission terminology it is Church, Prayer, and Reading.  Those are the things that help keep us alive spiritually.  It seems so simple right?  That's because it is.  The catch is, we have to continually do those things.  If we take a break or stop, our spirit suffers for it (or "Bites the Dust).  "....by small and simple things are great things brought to pass."  It is the little things we do each day that keep us on track and healthy spiritually.  Stay Alive!
