When people in the mid-40s experience a mid-life crisis, it’s usually about the realization that one’s lifetime is indeed short.  Time seems to be drifting by quickly.  Friends and family members age right in front of you.  It seems almost daily that the television news reports on a familiar Hollywood icon passing away.  Your natural thought process diverts from life benefiting actions to focusing on and fearing death.  The mind fills with haunting memories of lost opportunities and bad decisions.  Positive moments are overshadowed by negative recollections.  With every breath taken, time threatens the life measuring ratio between accomplishments and a fulfilled or unfulfilled life. 

For some, outlets like buying a new sports car or going on a cruise with over-extended credit may temporarily help bandage missed opportunities or callings in life but in the long run make the crisis at hand even worse.  While the reaffirmation of mortality limiting my race for a fulfilled life triggered my mid-life crisis, fearing death without the assurance of a God is what haunted me most.  Is there a purpose to existence?  I needed to know if there was a God.  I attended a Catholic elementary school, a Catholic high school and even earned my Bachelor’s of Art degree at a Catholic college.
