All this is temporary...
One of my best friends in college died when he was twenty-five, just a few years after we had finished Mississippi State University. I as in law school, and he called me one day and wanted to get together. So we had lunch, and he told me that he had terminal cancer.
I couldn't believe it. I asked him, "What do you do when you realize that you are about to die?"
He said, "It's real simple. You get things right with God, and you spend as much time with those you love as you can. Then you settle up with everybody else."
That left an impression on me.
