Just found out this afternoon that a guy that was in my Sunday School class died. :( 40 years old. He and his wife had been attending my class for about 3 months. Admitted to the hospital Friday, and died Saturday. :( No information on what it was yet. We all think we're going to live forever, but sooner or later the first step into eternity is over. Our church just finished the "The Purpose Driven Life", a book by Pastor Rick Warren out of Florida.

Ca346,

I am sorry to hear that.

I learned at a much younger age a long time ago in a foreign land, Live for Today & do what you can while you can and when you can & enjoy it.

Everyone comes into this world with an Experation date and "No One" knows when that is.

Always live your life for today and not tomorrow as tomorrow may never come.

If you want to do something DO IT!

If you love someone TELL THEM!

If you have family let them know how you feel NOW!

If you want to go on Vacation DO IT!

Then when your experation date arrives you will have NO REGRET's and neither will your family or friend's as they will all know you have enjoyed your life to it's FULLEST and enjoyed every minute of it.

When my Experation date arrives I will go knowing I have always done everything I have ever wanted and enjoyed doing it with no regret's.

"NEVER" put off till tomorrow what you can do TODAY!

Just my thought's

Lon

Ca346,
Im truly sorry to hear this. Hope his wife will be ok. Life is something we take for granted much to often, it is a precious and fragile thing. Tech 808 said it all. God Bless...

CA346, I have had similar experiences with people I have known. It's a shock and an eye opener. Hopefully, your Bible Classes drew him closer to Christ and he is with Him in eternity.

God Bless,
