"IF WE WOULD SPEND AS MUCH TIME ON OUR SOUL AS ON OUR CAR, WE WOULD ALL FARE BETTER."

....... car, boat, golf game, appearance, income, fame, ranking in our bowling league, making our house "competitive" in the neighborhood..........and on and on....all examples of the same type of thing....

It is not that those things are irrelevant....they each have their own type of legitimate importance in our lives...BUT  compared to the condition of our soul, which goes with us at death, they are clearly much less important.. I think the statement above is just a matter of helping is see the "big picture" a little more accurately.  I do not know who said it.

Some years ago I stood at the deathbed of a friend....he knew he was dying. He was a very educated, highly accomplished person...famous...well known.  His final request was that his wife and children ALL come and be with him, standing around his bed...holding his hand... he wanted to look at them and thank them, he said.  He did not ask to see his many awards, trophies or any other of his very important recognitions.  He wanted to see and be with his family.  Does that mean his earthly accomplishments were unimportant to him or anyone else? No. It just means SOME THINGS ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHERS.
Have a nice day. Jim
