...on morales and ethics. LOL Well, last night we were talking about dying, which isn't exactly a light topic! :eek:

We talked about memorials and funerals and trying to get in confessions right before you die, and what if there's no priest around. lol It got pretty funny when a couple ladies kept asking questions regarding no priests or anybody to confess to. Like talking about the last couple minutes before a plane crashes that you're on. My thought was, talk directly to God and say the Jesus prayer and ask forgiveness. LOL But a couple of the ladies kept asking the priest questions like, "well, could you talk to the person next to you about it?" and the priest started acting the scene out, which was hysterical. He said, tapping the imaginary person on the arm, "Hey," looks at his watch, "we've got a couple minutes before we crash. Say, do you mind? I've got these sins I need to get off my chest and thought I could tell them to you. Hey, maybe you have some stuff you want to tell me?" Everyone was laughing. He said, "I wouldn't have time for that." http://myidolmedia.americanidol.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif And somebody said, "well, what if you're in a situation where you know the person next to you is going to survive, but you're not. Could you talk to them?" He said, "change seats with them." ^_^ Everyone laughed. Of course he was joking and said, "naw. Just talk directly to God. Do your prayers to him and do the sign of the cross." :D

HAHA well, i think your priests advice was right on. And its better to pray and confess at that time, than try to figure out how to follow that sheet on putting your life jacket and oxygen on. We know that wont help you any when your two miles up. (sorry my dark humor is not as good as your priests).

LOL Well, it gets even better. :eek: ;) Somebody was asking about what happens if you die at sea? He said since there's no body, there isn't a funeral service, but there is a memorial service. And the woman asked some more on this about not having the body. He said something like, "How about you let me know a bit in advance when you'll be dying at sea, and I'll work on a funeral for you." ^_^ Somebody said, "gotta dive for the body." LOL And then the priest said, "are you dead yet? Hurry up, I'm ready to do the service." ^_^ :P He's a hoot.
