Live like you are going to die. My personal experiences ...

Christian Post,
I woke up recently to the kind of news that stops you cold.
A well-known pastor in our denomination — 62 years old, healthy, active, faithful — had preached an evening service at his church. Hours later, he was gone. A massive heart attack. No warning. No prolonged illness. Just suddenly absent from the world he had spent more than three decades shepherding.
He was a husband. A father. A grandfather. A pastor who had buried others and comforted grieving families, now himself mourned by them.
That same day, I stood in my own pulpit and preached two services. Later that afternoon, I attended a funeral for the daughter of one of our church members. She had turned 44, received a cancer diagnosis shortly thereafter, and was gone within ten months, never seeing her 45th birthday.
