...as opposed to a 'near death experience'. Last week my blood pressure got really high. It seems Doctors prescribe medicine for a reason, and when you don't take it...bad things happen.
Sitting in our staff meeting my heart began to flutter, I felt tightness in my chest, and I had an excruciating headache. I made my way home dug up my left over blood pressure pills, and tried to rest and relax.
Fortunately my episode was not as bad as thought it was (its funny how your mind plays tricks when your heart skips ticks), but while lying there thinking "I'm coming Elizabeth...it's the big one" - my life flashed before my eyes...in slow motion. - go figure -
I probably thought all the same things every dying man thinks. What about my family? Has my life made a difference? Is this going to hurt? Truth is we will all die someday. Maybe even some of us - today. Luke 12:20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you...
My point is, there are things in life that are bigger than $3 gas, Democratic Primaries, and March Madness...there is nothing like a far death experience to help you put things in perspective.

You are such a funny guy! So true..."far death experience". That is what every single day is in our life. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. We should all live like today is the last day we have till we see Him face to face!
