Death

I don't think I'd really care if I died. I know a couple people would, which wouldn't really make a difference, in my opinion. I mean, my birthday did contradict that previous statement, but what's one birthday really? Are people going to keep tabs on you even after you turn 20? 30? 50?

There's only two things I want before I die:
1) Leave a paper trail of music for musicians to find, perform, and distribute. And I'm talking a long trail.
2) I want to know that all God's people are safe and saved.

Why am I even talking about death? Well, I've been highly considering the value of my life, which, in retrospect, isn't worth squat to me. If I die, let me at least do it knowing that I am protecting people from others or even themselves. That's why I'm highly considering military service: to go fight and die for my country and people. It says it in the Bible during the first three Gospels, but I chose Luke for the sake of clarity:

"Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it."
- Luke 17:33
