Interesting Website: www.deathclock.com

Last night Nancy, Abby and I attended a worship service in Greensburg, PA, because Abby was going to miss worship today, because of a basketball commitment. The church was starting a 4-week series titled, "30 Days to Live."  The point of the message was -- If you only had 30 days to live, and you knew it, what would you do differently?  The pastor mentioned that he had come across an interesting website:  www.deathclock.com  If you go to the website and enter certain "personal information"--date of birth, gender, smoker/non-smoker status and BMI, the site will "calculate" your "deathdate."

The pastor mentioned that he tried it and came up with a specific date.  I came home last night and tried it out myself.  My "deathdate" came out to be April 14, 2053.  I'LL TAKE IT!  I'll be 96 years old, and April 14 happens to be my anniversay---plus, if I don't do my taxes, oh well!  Seriously, though, the pastor's point was no matter what some "death clock" may say, we don't know when our last day is coming.  Thus, EVERY day is vital.  The pastor's right! EVERY day IS vital.  the website is still fun, though.  The most interesting thing to me was the site gives you tips on how to "extend" your death date.  One of the ways is supposed to be by lowering your BMI if it's greater than 25. Mine's 28 right now, so I just arbitrarily put 25 into the death calculator again, and the year came out to be 2050!==3 years sooner!  So much, for all that running and praying I do!  If you're up for a laugh, and won't take it to seriously, try out the site--but remember:  we must learn to number our DAYS, and live each one for Jesus, if we have a heart of wisdom!
