Facing my own death so many times in my life gives me a different perspective than most people I find

In nearly losing your life many times a strange thing can happen to you where you value your life more than most other people do while at the same time you might have to test whether you are alive at all by taking physical risks. But then, with someone like me who is a natural intuitive you also know how far you can take things without being seriously injured or dying. I call this the sort of Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone kind of sense of nature and life in how I go on living through almost anything like i have already to age 77.

I have watched countless people in my life falter and die at literally any age. This can be very upsetting in very deep ways losing people like my father and my best friend from church because they wouldn't use good medical Science to stay alive longer. My father died at 69 and my best friend at church died at 62.

However, I have lost countless people both in my church and in the world all my life and it is always upsetting to lose anyone you love to death  which happen to many people it seems along the way. 

So, having meaningful principles to live by I find is very important in life with people dying all around you all the time old and young. Having these principles allow you to have the integrity to stay alive through almost anything for yourself, your family, your friends and your Country.

It's really important to accept that everyone you know is going to die though including you.

This sets the tone for life and makes your life and their lives more valuable to everyone.

If there is something you need to say to someone "Say it now" because you might not get another chance.

My 5 years old cousing who worked at Boeing in Seattle as the head of the Machinist department there and I had a falling out in around 1979. I always thought we would repair that rift before he died. But, then, becaues he had problems with Alcohol he died when the planes he helped build went into the World Trade center and killed everyone. So, 9-11 killed my cousin within a few weeks. It was just too much for him.

And so, I never got to repair the rift between myself and my Seattle Cousin. We were very close when I was little in Seattle and when his family came to California to visit us in Glendale. And then when he was in the Navy and went to the Cuban Missile Crisis in Cuba on a destroyer when he was in San Diego or Long Beach we saw him a lot because he bought a car and would often visit us on weekends then when I was 12 or 13 years old and he was in the navy.

So, whatever you have to say to people be sure to say it now before they are gone and you are alone without them.

By God's Grace
