10. 0:28he died tonight, would he go to heaven
11. 0:30and hell? He said, "I want to see heaven
12. 0:34cuz I'm living through hell." Well, told

21. 1:02man. Me exchange number invited him to
22. 1:05touch on Sunday. He said, "I never been
23. 1:08to church. I knew of one day I'm in the
24. 1:11casket being carried away, but I'm ready
25. 1:14to hear a word." Somebody shouted out
26. 1:16his
27. 1:17name and we tried to hide when we heard
28. 1:20the shots flying
29. 1:24out. Now he laid down bleeding as all
30. 1:26they keep screaming out. Now I lay down

34. 1:39to say goodbye. I need more time.
35. 1:42Please. And I'm like, please don't
36. 1:52go. Next up is a story about a girl I
37. 1:55met named Nicole. She was born and
38. 1:57raised up in a stable household. Had a
39. 2:01mom and a dad. Gave her everything she
40. 2:03wanted. She spoiled
41. 2:07always. I met her at a conference a
42. 2:09couple Sundays ago. She on fire for God
43. 2:12and love praising the Lord. I introduced
44. 2:15myself just so I can start the
45. 2:18conversation. She said, "Hi, my name's
46. 2:20Nicole. I'm about to have my graduation.
47. 2:23I just finished college and I just can't
48. 2:25wait. I'm like, man, this girl got her
49. 2:28head on straight. She said, "Yes, God
50. 2:39[Music]
51. 2:49associ." But we ended the conversation
52. 2:51by saying goodbye. All right.
53. 2:55Bye. But when I got to the party, they
54. 2:58said it was about to
55. 3:00end. My friends, I got a brand
56. 3:04new test drive with all of my
57. 3:07friends. Said, "Okay, let's make sure
58. 3:10that you're driving safely. Wear your
59. 3:12seat belt. Don't be driving all crazy.
60. 4:03But the news said three out of four died
61. 4:06in the accident.
62. 4:08Both of them [ __ ] but came back

65. 4:16Lord my soul to keep. And if I die
66. 4:19before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul

73. 4:49when you just might in the blink of an
74. 4:51eye. You can lose your life. No matter
75. 4:54your upbringing, no matter your age, no
76. 4:57matter your genes, you didn't have to
77. 4:59wait today. But by the grace of God, you
78. 5:02opened your eyes. But before it's too
79. 5:04late, you need to realize you may exist
80. 5:08and you here for a reason. Yes, we all
81. 5:11fall short of the human
82. 5:14center. But if you change your focus,
83. 5:17you can change your talk. And if you
84. 5:20read God's word, you can change your
85. 5:23walk. You say you get your life
86. 5:25tomorrow, but why not today? Cuz
