9.11-final call
everyone will remember where they were the morning of 9.11 5 years ago. with the recent specials on tv and all of the memorial services going on, i've been thinking...who would i have called if i was on one of those planes that were hijacked? now, i've never flown before, and honestly, i dunno when i would...i'm sure in the future i will need to, cause you can't just go to a tropical island by driving there...anyways...there have been numerous specials about those that made their final calls to family/loved ones/friends/co-workers...if i was on a plane that was hijacked and was going to call someone, who would I call? would i even be in the right frame of mind to organize and construct my thoughts to be capabale enough to make a phone call? There are many people I would want to contact, but in the whole scheme of things, we don't know when the time will come that our life in this world will end.
but that is not the topic at hand...
I'm talking about having a matter of minutes to pick up the phone and make that final call. at first, one would say, call your family, mom, dad, my sister...they need to know...yes, they would need to know. what about a significant other. in the event of being married or having a girlfriend, wouldn't you want to contact them. yes! my wife would be the first i would call, as well as if i happened to have kids, i'd want to tell them daddy loves them. what about my friends? there are those that i've shared priceless moments with throughout my life... what about someone who is a friend who isn't a Christian? what kind of witness would that be, knowing you may die in a matter of moments and in your final moments, you are witnessing to others...
but what if that moment was right now? what if the plane was taking it's final turn and i had just enough time to call one person and say "this is it, i love you and tell everyone that I love them and i'll be okay...(the phone goes dead...thats the last thing you could say to anyone ever again)
who could you call? who should you call? who would you call?
