Do you really think you will get a better deal by praying for 24 hours straight?  People don't do that even when they are dying from a terminal illness.

Yep...just checked it out.  You gotta be dead to be a saint.  Which means no one got any answer from Saint Francis of Assisi because if he was in a position to answer he wasn't dead and therefore not a saint.  He was still just Frank, a sissy.

It would just feel comforting to me. It would make me feel more mentally prepared to die, and more at peace with it.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

HA!! The first day of a 10-day-long stretch of dog-sitting and the world is going to end. I wonder if I or the dog will inadvertently be the one to kick off the apocalypse? Angel

Scriptures tell us when Christ returns men and women will be going about their lives as usual, not knowing the day nor hour of His coming. You want be planning anything special, those who are alive at the time will see Christians raised from the grave, they will see the living Christians taken up next, those who are lost will be trying to hide anywhere they can, and many will try to kill themselves but will be unsuccessful. Then they will see Christ come down into Jerusalem and judgement begin. No rapture is going to happen as many Christians believe, even a great part of my denomination believes the rapture will happen, but none can prove it through the scriptures.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Take him for walks, play with him, feed him, force him to endure watching his favorite human shrink in the back window as I drive away from the airport...

Oh, wait, maybe I've lit on something here... Tongue

Practice Piano. Maybe some Guitar. Masturbate, but not more than usual.
Continue to Learn to Code in Python.
The Usual.
Because the Rapture won't happen.
I already learned my lesson on the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse.
