We make decisions (choices) every day of our life.  When making a choice do we understand there will be either a reward or a consequence to that decision?  In today's message Pastor Don uses an illustration contrasting Abraham and Lot.  Lot's choices were not made with God in mind, and consequently his decisions cost him a somewhat disappointing life.  Where Abraham strived to have God's will in his life and in his decisions.  If we have neglected God's will in our decisions and our life, is it too late to make that change?
