My Epitaph

As I have pondered the course of my life and decisions that I have made and am now making, I am forced to consider the end of the road I am traveling. I believe it was Covey who said, "Begin with the end in mind." That is what I have attempted to do here. If the desired end matches the road I am on, then the course is true. If the two don't match, then it is never too late to change course - after all, the road does continue on after the veil of this mortal life is passed. With that said, here is my desired end. I recommend to you to try the same.

Ken Coman was taken home after a life full of service to God and his fellow man. He loved his children and always gave them all the time he had. He helped them to know what life was about and to enjoy goodness, service, love and happiness. They are his greatest legacy and he understood that his family relationships were the most important relationships on earth. He loves his dearest wife and gave himself to her. She was his greatest treasure. He has the knowledge that he will be with his family forever. He succeeded in his career and helped many businesses to succeed by believing in the power of values and principles. He was a world renowned author and scholar on business and world philosophy. He loved young people and saw himself in them. He loved them and gave of himself to help them in their formative years knowing that if he could help one young person - he would in reality help generations. He served the public and went about doing good. All will remember him as one who lived to love and loved to live. His one comfort was knowing that although his love was not powerful enough to reach around the world, he knew that God lives and that His love is strong enough to reach every person, penetrate every heart, and heal every wound. His prayer for you was that you might feel that love and he worked tirelessly to bring that prayer into a reality first at home and then to the rest of the human race. He walked uprightly before God and men and was confident that he would hear these words from His master, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
