I've almost died 7 times in my lifetime. I took that as a sign that my time has not yet come.
You can either serve God or serve yourself. Is God the master of your life or are you the master of your life? That is ultimately what the decision comes down to.
How can you do so if you are in the EST time zone? That's the New York area. Our time zones are nowhere near each other. What can you possibly do that would affect my children?
The idea of serving God is really to serve ourselves but in an empathetic capacity. And I don't think serving God and myself are the only options. I definitely put myself first because I was raised by parents who put "God" and their ideals first most of the time which was nonsense considering what a parent is meant to do.
Besides I still scratch my head at what serving God means, first of all he doesn't need servents in any capacity so things like worship are silly in my eyes. On the other hand to follow the "rules" of the book and morality is serving God then I am do a much better job than most Christians without actually "serving God" as the doctrine mandates.
Frankly I am opposed to anyone one or thing that has compulsory obedience. It's a form of slavery and I certainly won't do it but he "created" me.
The general idea of serving God I think is another personification that clouds the teachings.
My goal as stated earlier is to have as little impact on Nature as possible and by doing that I meet many requirements of your doctrine aside from the purely mental ones such as "faith" which I consider another complication. Of course you will say I serve myself as you have several times and that's ok. You can believe whatever you and and so can I but it's our actions that resonate, not which team we are on.
