When was the last time you forgot something? Most of us in one way or another have forgotten many things through the years. Where did I put those car keys? Oops, I forgot your birthday...sorry. Many times a "brain cramp" isn't a big deal. But other times our memory loss can prove to be serious or tragic. Today's sermon serves as a reminder for us to make every effort to never forget those things that truly matter the most.
