I wasn't able to watch the video for some reason ???
I guess also, we have to remember that this man is in the exact place where our Father wants him to be. He doesn't acknowledge his Creator because he doesn't know Him. Perhaps God will use this time to turn his heart towards his Creator; maybe he's one of those eleventh hour types of people.

Perhaps the message of "have fun" isn't the best wording but personally, one of our favorite sayings is "Enjoy life regardless of your circumstances."
I think having the joy of the Lord allows us to go through our rough times and still be "happy." I choose to be happy. I choose not to worry about tomorrow.
I also think that when people forget how to have fun, they get very old.
The youngest at heart people I know stay young by living life to the fullest and have fun by enjoying the gifts of the Lord. Not the material gifts but the ones that really matter....

While he may have not mentioned God, there are a lot of people who say they believe that could not handle knowing their death was upon them in a similar manner.

I personally can stand here and say I do not fear death more than likely because I do not know when it will happen.  I asked myself If I was told I had months to live if I could stand by what I say I believe.

In all honesty,  I don't know.

Hello Everyone,

                      I guess that we all react to things differently, BELOVED made a good point about this guy not bringing attention to his Creator, also PHAZEL shares the perspective, " I don't know how I'd react when discovering my soon to be death(not an exact quote). I feel the same way, I really don't know how I would react, I'd rather not know when, how about those cases where a person is told their going to die shortly and they end up living for many more years. This guy from the Oprah show certainly has an appearance of a Positive Mental Attitude, I would imagine, your probably better off keeping busy, instead of sitting around thinking about when your going to die. Their are people out their who are perfectly healthy and are obsessed with a fear of Death, that must be a horrible way to live. LINDA'S perspective about laughing and having fun with life, looking at the bright side of things is an optimistic way to live, you sound alot like my wife. She's always joking and laughing, after some horrible earlier relationships in life, she figures its better not to sweat the small stuff, life's too short. I definetely agree with that last part.   I'm considered by her to be too serious about everything, lacking a sense of humor. I will check out that Rudyard Kipling poem, IF. One of my favorite quotes is from the Movie, THE TIME MACHINE(the newer version), where the guy who built the time machine says to the highly advanced guy from the future------WHAT IF. We can all WHAT IF ourselves to death, after reading the FREE WILL SERIES, I was doing alittle bit of that What If and said to myself, what am I doing.

                             Just some thoughts, Your Brother, Samson.
