Peace with God Through Christ

Anyone here ever get anxious about death enough to want to paint a picture? build a house? have kids? recently the idea of building a structure out of stone came to me. The whole thing arose when I read the poem Ozymandias. To think that places like the pyramids or stonehedge where once used for rituals and such, the organic elements that made them long turned to dust while these rocks remain. Anyone else share these feelings(about the whole what would you do before you died bit)?
You post reminds me how great it is that I have eternal life through Christ.

Everything we do or build will eventually pass away. Some day even the pyramids will be gone. For that matter eventually the Earth will grow cold and dark

Also, in Christ, there no anxiousness about death. One simply transitions from the present imperfect life to God's presence and there is no worries as to my fate, because through Christ all my sins are fogiven
