My plan is to live as well as I can as long as God will let me. My folks died well, if that's something you understand. They lived well, and died well. I miss them greatly. I gave the Eulogy for both at their funerals. I do often think about my own funeral these days...though I won't be there to see it...
Meh. The older I get, the more it crops up. To think that I am well beyond the halfway point of my life is sobering. But, all I can do is live until I die. Live as well as you can, you only get one shot at it.
I believe there is a greater place, and I hope to go there when its over here on earth. Until then, I'm trying to concentrate on living.
Choose well. You're running out of time to get it right.
Pax Christi.

Death is still an enemy and a mighty one at that, I don't know many if any who look forward to it.
