Yall remember Jim Fixx don't you? He died of a heart attack while jogging at age 52 . He had a genetic predisposition for heart problems. I'm a firm believer in the Bible that tells me God knows the number of my days (Psalm 139) and what matters is whether I live or die for Jesus. (Romans 14). God knows how long I will live.

I'm not worried about a little bit of wood smoke. :D
