New Question, we want answers from everyone.

If you knew today that you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

I would try to gather all of my children and grandchildren around me and make sure they know that I have a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and that I therefore do not fear dying. I just hope the process will be as easy as possible -- like my mother.

It's kinda funny that this is the question this month. I spent my day yesterday driving with many co-workers to Vernal to attend the funeral of one of my co-workers. He was retired from Raytheon, and didn't want to give up his engineering skills just yet, so he came in to work with us 2 days a week. From Vernal. 3 1/2 hours away. He was 61, which is just too young.
So I have been spending the week considering this very thing. And like Dad, I would want my family to be near and let them know my love for the gospel, for my savior and for my God, and for each of you. I also have been thinking that I would not want to die unless I know I can spend at least a little bit of time as a guardian angel next to Spencer knocking him on the head whenever he needs it. And he seems to need it a lot lately. I would want to not be sick "today", just lay down tonight and go. That way I could spend the day after church outside in my backyard with the family singing songs and playing beach ball volleyball with you. And laughing. You would need to be here so you could laugh with us.

Beach ball volleyball? That's funny. Of course I have the same response as dad and Jeny, including bopping spencer on the head ;) but I feel the need to add that I would eat. I would eat a lot, and I would enjoy every bite. Chocolate everything. No guilt. It would be awesome. Maybe I would have to get the Oreo out of my teeth before we sing so that I'm not embarrassed.
