Why plant a tree

John Wesley's reply to what he would do if he only had a week to live was to plant a tree. He said that was what he planned to do anyway.

The point was that one should always live with eternity in mind. One day we will indeed go to be with God. As Christa says, you never know when you'll walk outside and get hit by a beer truck. I"m sure Wesley wouldn't have phrased it quite like that. Wesley was doing just that, living with eternity in mind.
