One viral videos of 2024 was a cut portion of a commencement speech about seeing people die and hearing what they have to ask for.
“I have stood at the bedside of maybe thousands of people as they took their last breath. What people say in their final moments is pretty important. They don’t mess around. When people are dying in their last words nobody has ever said ‘Pastor Rick, bring me my trophies. I want to look at them once more time.’ Or even ‘Bring me my college graduation certificate. I want to look at it one more time.’ When people are dying and the know their time is short what they want in the room is not things or trophies or achievement. What they want is the people they love. Eventually, we all eventually figure out that it’s all about love. It’s all about relationships. I just pray you’ll figure it out a whole lot sooner.”
