24 Hours

[ZACTAK]

I would spend as much time with my family and friends, and do the crazy stuff I have always wanted to do, such as sky diving, scuba diving, bungee jumping, etc.

 

[Nightson]

Probably something along the lines of

Spending time with my family and friends.
Sex.
Get everything in order, write some stuff down, wonder what death will be like.
And when my time is nearly up, me and my best friend drive down to a beautiful green field, we go and lie down and look at the clouds hand in hand, and then pass on into whatever awaits.

Death is but the next big adventure....

Interesting but don't you think your wife would want the chance to say goodbye? Suppose she found out somehow after you died that knew and never told her?

You don't know her, she would understand.

 

[Spherical Time]

I would call my parents and brother to have lunch with me tomorrow, and then spend all of the time between now and then at my desk, writing.

silly hypothetical question - how about finding some cause to risk your life for, seeing as ...

Starting right now at 2:02 pm, I'd spend about an hour or two meditating, then I would take an enormous dose of mushrooms and probably spend most of the afternoon with my girlfriend, doing all kinds of stuff I can't elaborate on here. After that, spend some time with my friends. At maybe 1:30 or 2 am, Afterlife opens (afterlife is an after hours club in dallas) so we'd all head down there, take lots of X, perhaps some GHB, and dance for hours and hours. at 10 am, Afterlife closes, so go eat some breakfast at Cafe Brazil with my friends. Cafe Brazil would be where Jesus would work if he had to get a minimum wage job . Anyways, go home, and just keep spending time with my friends, and probably go to sleep arund 1 pm. Cause going out in my sleep sounds less painful than having to be awake for it.

The funny thing is, thats my normal day anyways Except for the large doses of drugs parts, since I don't have much money.

Well, I'd get as right as I possibly could with God. And just please God by obeying sincerely all his commands I've neglected over the years (as many as possible anyway.) Life is not about being happy, and so I will not see my life end in booze, drugs and looting like most, but spend my last 24 hrs being as pleasing to God as I possibly can- that is, talk to him and obey his commands.

And as I'm still a teenager and my parents are still around, I'll thank them for everything they've done for me... but hey, that's a command anyway.

You only have 24 hrs to live. Everything is exactly as it is right at this moment. If you are healthy you are healthy, if you are sick you are sick, etc. No changes in your current condition except you know that 24 hrs from this moment you will die. What would you do with your last 24 hours?

Try to cash in my belongings and give the money to my church. Call everyone I loved and tell them that I love them. Praise God that he is calling me home - I'm ready!

 

[Robbie_James_Francis]

Great question!

Spend time with my family and my close friends, having a great time. Tell as many people as I can all the important things I've learnt in life, and tell them about Christ. Sell everything of worth and give [most of] the money to needy people. Go out with friends and spend the rest on cheap booze and cigarettes. Go to Confession and Mass, then spend some time praying/meditating/reading the Bible at church before receiving the Last Rites and having my family and close friends with me.

Thanks for the really great thread!!!

I'm actually tearing up right now...

I'd probably smoke a couple of cigarettes, make myself a Gin and Tonic (or some Grilled Cheese and wine...) and curl up on the couch with some Comic Books and my girlfriend. I'd read them and talk about them with my girlfriend. She doesn't read them, but she tells me I'm cute when I'm dorky. When I got tired I'd go to sleep hugging her the entire time. I'd probably wait until she is dead asleep and then I would cry. Not because I'm afraid to go, just because I'm afraid to not have her. The next morning I would call my mom and have her meet me for breakfast. It would be just me and my mom. We've always associated with each other really well. And we would sit and talk until my time came. I would want her to be there with me.

WEll thaks for the responses folks. Take the time to do the things you said you would do, do them now with those you love. As we all know we could be gone at any moment.

 

[Lisa0315]

Good thread. I really enjoyed reading all the responses, and you are right. We should live each day as if it were our last.

Thanks! This was very uplifting!
