Glimpsing Your Upcoming Death

I read yesterday that P.T. Barnum, when he had grown gravely ill, had his obituary printed prior to his passing so that he could enjoy it. 

If you are interested you can read it HERE.  It is really interesting; the man lived an amazing life, worthy of the circus.

 

This got me thinking though…

 

If I could have a sneak peak at my obituary what would I want it to say?

 

Maybe this caught my eye because several churches I know of have been doing 30 Days [or One Month] to Live sermon themed series.

 

So I’m thinking of writing a short obit for myself, possibly using rhyme. 

 

What words should I include?

-          Faithful?

-          Honest?

-          Wise?

-          Devilishly Good Looking?
