Uh, Oh. He doesn't have much time. Is it time to add Bruce Willis to your prayer list?

Hate seeing this. Never cared for his TV series back in the day, but his movies were always a good watch...well...until the last years where he was given a bit part for use of his name.

I've been there a couple of times myself. Kinda scary.
Kinda scary bc you don't know what lies before you.
I've read books about what happens after death. I read
one book that after I finished it I was ready to go then.
But death is a complete mystery for most of us. Will we wake
up in a meadow w/flowers & mountains w/waterfalls?
Or will we wake up in a very horrible hell like place?

Yep, we were at Pensacola a few years ago with strong waves. I was hanging out with the boys close to the shore and I look over and see that the wife is farther out then she should be and looks to be struggling (BTW, she is the one who says 1,000 times a day how careful we need to be). I told the boys to go in and went out to help her. She can swim, but wasn’t going anywhere, was just yelling for help but nobody can hear or did anything. Basically had to drag her in. Was pretty scary. Later realized that waves were at the highest danger level. Imagine my boys watching us out there. Brings back bad memories.

I was on vacation w/the family in Panama Beach, FL. and got caught up in a rip tide.
Before I knew it I was out in the ocean pretty far from shore. I made it back but it was
scary once you realize you've been caught off guard. That was just one time I can recall
of being in trouble while out swimming. Many more times of going under.

Yep, since that happened to us I’ve been shocked about how many people have experienced something similar. It is an eye opener for sure.

I didn't mention the fact I had son #2 (7 yo) with me out there that day. He was on an inner
tube float and I had to push him & swim at the same time back to a safe spot. He still doesn't know to this day how big of a trouble spot we were in at the time.
