It's Good Friday today. Jesus Christ was in the garden weeping and sweating blood. Being God He knew EXACTLY what was going to happen to Him in DETAILS before it even happened. So basically He lived the pain TWICE. Once before it happens and again when it happens. What did He do and what did He ask His disciples to do? Pray and pray and pray. He even asked them not to sleep but rather stay over night praying. They couldn't, but He did stay over night praying. 
I'd write. I'd try to get down everything I wanted to tell people. Probably even be really selfish and arrange for all letters or messages to be delivered after my death so i wouldn't get interrupted by people being upset I'm going to die. Probably arranged to spend my last few hours with family, but if there's nothing they could do anyway giving them a full 3 days heads up wouldn't help matters at all.
Go into an empty church and play my guitar in worship. Do my best to contact and apologize to those I've wronged. Probably sit with my grandmother for a few hours. Cry for a bit. Get angry as well. Watch my last movie. Play my last gaming session. Make my last update on facebook. Eat my last meal. Sing my last song. Sit with family and pray that they'll have the strength to endure another loss.
If anything I'd treat it like another day, only with more prayer. :\

I played an interesting game with my daughter a couple weeks ago. I said.. what if you knew when you were going to die or when the world was going to end. Fortunately, I had JUST told her how much I loved her.. and we agreed to try this as an experiment...she is 7... so to make a game of it, I said okay when the clock reaches 7:56, the world would be over and both of us would cease to exist. What would we do? it was 7:45 ... that was 11 minutes.
We BOTH spent time watching the clock in silence determining what we didn't have time for. Interestingly, it was like brain freeze, as if we were frozen.. waiting. Very little action. 7:56 happened. I said ... it's over. What did we forget? We did not call a single person we did not cuddle in fear or anxiety but the clock watching was obvious for BOTH of us. I said I am glad i said I love you right before we started playing... she said Oh my ..let's redo this. so we played again. at 8:04, the we would cease to exist. We expressed our love... we prayed for one another... and we finished ahead of time and asked God to speed up the time, because she said she was ready early.
interestingly, we did not put our effects in order, we still didn't call anyone, we did not say goodbye, but see you on the other side... although we agreed that if we didn't quite make it to Heaven, our love was always strong.
Take a moment with the person you are sitting with and try this... make it less than 10 minutes. See if you too are a clock watcher... I do not think I would do anything spectacular, but I would pray to God and I would pray for my loved ones and.. more interesting to me is that I would pray for my most current enemies.. because they too crossed my mind. (and no I'm not praying they don't make it .. but rather that they have comfort in knowing they have my forgiveness.

that is interesting, because the truth is we don't know, I do believe that those that need forgiveness are forgiven by me today while the world still stands.I only hope to be forgiven by them while the world still stands..as for playing the game, I wouldn't know who call or what I would do except give it to God..ten minutes is not much time, maybe I'd pray for the whole worlds redemption..
I'd give my cat to my sister. I'd tell everyone that I love and try to get everyone together for a couple of days to spend time together. I would tell them not to cry or be sad and that I would see them again. On the last day, I would wander off into the wilderness (but tell authorities where to find me so no one else would accidentally) and I would spend my last moments praying and offer up my spirit to God. I might let someone go into the wilderness with me cause she would probably demand it. The end.
