MB,
Great story with so much meaning. As time goes by the oppertunities to spend time with these most common men that together did extrodinary things is coming an end. I to have had the great honor to spend time with some of them. We can treasure that time and admire the fight that is the life they are now living.

Hazel,
thanks for your kind words.
And you are right, sadly there is no gaurantee at all. But maybe you got me wrong, I don't fight with god. For me making peace with god means not that I'm ready to go, but more that I still live because of his will. So as long as I'm alive and my family is in good health, I am in peace with him. I would start to fight with him when he is taking the most valueable things away from me. When there is not really a clear reason for me to see why he do it.
I really try to relax to enjoy every minute of life, because like you said, we are just one heartbeat from eternity. But realxing in this kind of world we have today isn't really easy at all. If you look in the news, it is all about money, even war is about it. So money rules the world. If you would like to give your children a nice home, good education you need to have money. The only thing you can experience without money is joy, but it is hard to realize it between all this fast living and thinking about your job/work, your home, your retirement arrangements, your insurances, bills and so on.
But sorry I make a digression.

Marcus, the thanks goes to you that every wednesday I'm very eager to read your new blog entry.

I'm not religious at all, but I like this article for 2 reasons.

1. It's a reminder that life is short. Either get busy living or get busy dying. Carpe Dieum.

2. I agree with what you said. Death happens to everybody. so no matter what they believe, you have to deal with it.

Tobias, you may be young, but you are a thoughtful young man. Have you considered that the problem with waiting is that there are no guarantees? We're all just a heart-beat from eternity. Consider that it may be better to make your peace with God early rather than later, so you can relax in in throughout life.

Hello Marcus,
for a 27 y.o. guy like me this question is hard to answer. But I would say I'm far from ready to go. I'm short before becoming a dad, so life just started for me when you see it that way. I think the only time when you find your peace is, when you have ended your life already in your head. Like when you have experiences everything you wanted and had a good life like Paul. Still living but ready to go. I don't see this point coming for me in the next 40 years. At least that's what I hope for.
But when time is near I will make peace with the Lord for sure.

Very nice story again M! Like I said last blog entry, I'm pretty amazed about your gift of realizing those things during your day and converting them to thsi fine blog.
