thankfulness after a near-death experience
Near death experiences bring you so much closer to the world around you. Those of you who know me well for the past few years, know that I speak from experience. I am reading a book by Philip Yancey and he describes what happens after a near death experience, and it is exactly my experience. "For weeks after the accident, I walked around in a daze of grace, looking at the sky, trees, grass, my wife, my friends, with fresh eyes...each new day brought promptings of gratitude" and "I felt at once more conscious of the world's suffering which CNN and the internet funnel into our homes every day, and more grateful for the sheer joy and beauty of life." I highly recommend a near death experience to anyone who is apathetic or even just bored with life. On second thought, just practice being grateful whether you believe in God or not. It has the same effect.
