Last week in Relief Society we discussed Joseph Smith's last days before his martyrdom. He knew he was going to die, he had been preparing to die for quite some time, he knew he would be preserved until he had accomplished his mission in this life.
It made me think of making sure I accomplish my goals for eternal life before the Lord decides my mission in this life is over.
Strange but true, I decided to see what the average age of people are in the obituaries to give me an idea of a possible time frame.
Monday the average age was 77.8 years old.
Tuesday the average age was 75.86 years old.
Wednesday the average age was 77.21 years old.
Thursday the average age was 80.27 years old.
Friday the average age was 81 years old.
We just averaged the age of anyone that was in the paper and didn't consider if they were in more than one day. Most are only in for one day.
Going with the averages I have 20 years to fulfill my goals for this life. Kind of a morbid thought.

Wow, you need some entertainment there. I like to think of you as immortal, or at least living until you're 100 years old! 20 years isn't long enough for me.
