"One hour after death!" James Smith 1864
One hour after death, WHERE shall I be?
One hour after death, WHAT shall I be?
One hour after death, How shall I be EMPLOYED?
One hour after death, What will be my FEELINGS?
One hour after death, How shall I THINK?
How differently we shall think of money, pleasure, the indulgence of our lusts, all that we now call great, grand, and desirable--one hour after death! Let us endeavor to think now--as it is probable we shall think then!
Let us place ourselves in Heaven--and try to think there!
Let us place ourselves in Hell--and try to think there!
How different will things then appear!

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. - Carl Sagan.
I love this. It's so important to stay focused on eternity, yet so difficult with all of the distractions that we have every day.
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies..." - Jesus Christ (John 11:25)
@ Carl Sagan
Since you said that, has anything changed? If you could somehow re-word that oft quoted statement in light of your subsequent experiences, would it be substantially different?
