I’m good with how I spent my time on this earth. I’ve got to experience a shit ton in this life. No regrets. Doesn’t mean I accept death or won’t fight it tooth and nail. But, I can’t complain about what I got to experience.

After my heart attack in 2022, I got the real wake up call.
I don't fear death as I know it is an inevitability.....but like BRC, I am not in a hurry to go. I DO HOWEVER, value each day more dearly than before.... I love more....try to give back in the time that I have left....I don't sweat the little things that used to irritate me and send my BP skyrocketing. I look at my wife and kids with different eyes... |

Why dwell on this? It's inevitable and the first second you are born you start the clock on the dying process.
I choose to live my life day to day but full well know there may be no tomorrow. That is out of my control.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the idea... as much of a struggle as life can sometimes be, I still kinda prefer things remain as they are
It's weird though, back in my 20s 30s and even 40s it was rarely given any thought... Who me? well dang I'm too young to die! But once I hit 50 it all changed, like my old buddy always says... You've seen the best of it |

You're not "miniscule". Think about this. The one and only ETERNAL being in existence, GOD, thought of YOU specifically! God thought of you and wanted you to be a part of his family and of his kingdom and so he created you! Miniscule? Not even close! God knows everything about you and is guiding your path, including you creating this thread!
Luke 12:7 esv Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered... This life is about being prepared, molded, and refined for the life to come in God's Kingdom and God has a MAJOR job awaiting you! It's normal to fear death but please remember this: Ecclesiastes 7:1 ...and the day of death better than the day of birth. |

"Is Consciousness Produced by the Brain?" by Dr. Bruce Greyson, University of Virginia (he leans towards the answer being no, that consciousness is not produced by the brain, and the brain is more like a receiver that you have tuned into, like a channel on a TV or radio station) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGZSC8odIU

A movie I recommend to watch with your children to help them with their belief and faith is "Heaven is for Real", based on a true (hopefully) story. |

Matthew 18:4 esv At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:28 esv When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all. |

Love God the Father with all your heart! After all, EVERY good thing in your life is a gift from God. Your parents, spouse, children, animals, nice things, etc., are ALL from God.
Love God. Follow Jesus. Obey his commandments and love and help your fellow man. This is all that one needs to believe and do to be a faithful follower of Jesus. Nobody needs to be a theologian or attend some church. Matthew 36-40 esv 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” |
