Lol. I saw that.

I recall my pastor told me years ago of a rich man he knew who was obsessed with his "bucket list." He traveled to a remote region of the world to ride dirt bikes through the wild. He punctured his lung and broke many bones in an accident while doing so. This had been his 10th or 11th "adventure" that he just had to do. It took him over a month to get home, because he could not fly with a punctured lung. Even then, he spent months in painful recovery.

The pastor asked him if any of that really made his life more valuable to God. The rich man also had all the possessions of wealth: beachfront vacation homes, boats, aircraft, cars, property, cash, mansion, etc.

Reminded me of this:

The Parable of the Rich Fool
