‘Choose This Day’ by Torence White

As Ruben Wells kneels with a gun pointed at his head all he can do is reflect on the life he spoiled. What has led him here? Was it his willingness to always try to do the right thing that has him staring at the barrel of a gun? Or was that he was too much of a people pleaser having hard time saying no that has led to him begging for his life? Every thing begins and ends with a choice. The moment a choice is made it only takes a second for a life to change. Ruben made a choice to initiate a relationship with the alluring Bianca Jones. She makes heads turn and every man’s dream. Beautiful as a gazelle, but as dangerous as a lioness, as she’s unavailable due to being unhappily married with children. Being married doesn’t keep her from wanting to pursue Ruben as well as being pursued by Ruben. Getting involved with Bianca changes Ruben’s life in ways he never could have imagined. Choices are a gift constantly given to everyone. The choices made lead to different paths. We all have to choose this day what we’re going to do with our own lives not knowing what the end result will be. What kind of impact will Ruben’s choices have on his life?
