Blog Post # 4: Cheat the Game of the Grim Reaper.

"For we know that when this tent we live in now is taken down... when we die

and leave these bodies...we will have wonderful new bodies in Heaven, homes

that will be ours for evermore, made for us by God Himself, without human hands." 

II Corinthians 5:1 (Living Bible)

             We all know that someday, Death will knock at our doors. We will never know when and where, whether it is now, later or soon. It is the game of the Grim Reaper. Grim Reaper knocking on your door, are you willing to open it?

             There are so many people who cheated the game. Till now, they are still alive and kicking. Want to know some of them? As I look through the internet, i saw this article, " 7 CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE CHEATED DEATH " by Ryan Penagos. Does it make any sense? Wow! They were really able to cheat Death. They tricked the Grim Reaper and left him dumb founded. Can you imagine that?

             I can also present you some of the famous actors in Hollywood who cheated death so many times. I visited this site : "Celebrities Who Cheated Death" which was written by Fox News Writers. Did you know that Jackie Chan, a famous Chinese Action star also tricked the Reaper? He suffered so much from injuries from stunts he made. He Broke his nose, fingers of his hands, ankles, cheeks and even his skull! He's experience when filming the "Armour of God" (1996) was a near death experience. During this film, he fell out of a tree and fractured his skull. He was left with a permanent hole in his head. A hole in his head?!

             Have you ever though of being struck by lightning, seven times and remain alive? Or, do you imagine yourself to survive from a plane crash?  These kinds of incidents can make someone die easily. But there are some who again tricked the Grim Reaper's game. Check out this article by Dio Genes, " Top 10 Amazing People Who Cheated Death ". You will found out here some of the amazing stories of the people who were able to survive from the scythe of death.

              Since I am talking about people who almost experience death, let us define " Near Death Experience (NDE)". According to Ed Grabianowski on his article, " How Near-death Experiences Work ", he revealed here that the term “near-death experience” (NDE) was coined in 1975 in the book Life After Life by Raymond Moody, MD.

" But what exactly are NDEs? Are they hallucinations? Spiritual experiences? Proof of life after death? Or are they simply chemical changes in the brain and sensory organs in the moments prior to death? "                                                                                        
" A near-death experience is any experience in which someone close to death or suffering from some trauma or disease that might lead to death perceives events that seem to be impossible, unusual or supernatural. While there are many questions about NDEs, one thing is certain -- they do exist. Thousands of people have actually perceived similar sensations while close to death. The debate is over whether or not they actually experienced what they perceived. "  - Ed Grabianowski

               I have not experienced Near - Death situations, but you know, I am very prone to accidents. I am an accident - prone person. Since I was still a little child, Lady Luck was never on my side. A vehicle hit me, I almost drown a many times, but fortunately, I am still here, writing this blog and pursuing my dreams.

                There will come a time that when Death knocks on your door again, there is nothing you can do but to answer him. But, there are those times that you will be very lucky not to cross him early. This time, you won for now. Do not forget to thank God that you still wake for another beautiful day.
