If you had the chance, would you live forever?

No way.

My answer may come as a surprise, and hey! I'm not looking to die again any time soon, but when it comes down to it eternity is a hell of a long time. I've got lots of living yet to do and I'm going to take full advantage of this strange and wonderful second chance that I've been given. But no death makes the whole prospect seem kinda pointless.

I only have vague memories of heaven, but one thing I know for certain is that it was peaceful and that I was happy there. I'm looking forward to heading back there sometime. Not for a long time yet, I hasten to add, and I'm not going to lie down and roll over for anyone or anything that wants to help me on my way. Just that it's nice to know that it's out there waiting for me, and when that distant point in the future comes when I'm done I'll have some place where I can rest.

Besides, I've returned from the dead before. What's to say it couldn't happen again?
