How do you guys feel about eventually dying?

[InChiefsHeaven]

As a faithful Catholic, I do not fear death. I do not want it, but I do not fear it. Both my folks passed away in the last 13 years, and it really does make me think about it. Not with dread, but I can honestly say, I hope the good Lord gives me a long life here on earth. I'm not ready to go yet.

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.

How is it an 'enemy' if it is a part of the process of life? No it's not something that should be looked forward to for most people but there's a reason we die eventually. World would be pretty overpopulated otherwise.

I believe he was referring to the following from the Bible:

1 Corinthians 15:26
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

And then there is the flipside of that:

Rev. 9:6 and Rev. 6:16

Not really the flipside, the entire point is pain isn't something we seek I mean if you're normal and all

I lived through Matt Cassell as a starter, dying is a piece of cake.
