But I have to tell you when the doctor comes in the ER and says to you and your husband - You need to say your goodbyes because she's probably not going to make it." The brain does some quick thinking - Do my kids know how much I loved them? Did I do my best with my life? Is there anything I am truely sorry for? And after you've answered all many questions that very quickly flash through your mind - there was a real calm that I have never felt before. I knew I could die and it would be ok. I must say I am glad God decided it wasn't time for me yet but my needs, wants and thoughts are now very different now.rainydaytoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407431018319244763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-15625370925133555772009-09-06T16:41:03.588-07:002009-09-06T16:41:03.588-07:00Thanks.

I recognize that time is an aspect of matter. And I've tried to understand Einstein's theory of relativity in how it pertains to time and space and traveling at the speed of light, etc. All of that helps me see (I think) how God is omnipresent and omniscient but even though my mind can grasp a teensy bit of that I still wonder about after we die. Will we still experience time or will we be in a different dimension. It's all very fascinating. And I wonder if I should have typed its instead of it's.
