So Paul appeals to Caesar because he fears that Festus is going to put him to death. However, he also gets to tell his story to King Agrippa who sees nothing wrong in what he has done, but says that if he had not appealed to Caesar he would be free. I don't really understand what he means by that.
He is asking the Lord to save him because he knows that this earthly life does not last forever.

Looks like I didn't save this day's writing.
I think what he means is that since he invoked the right to appeal to Caesar, they must take him to Caesar, but if he had just been brought before King Agrippa, he could have set him free. But it seems that this was Paul's way of getting them to not kill him before saying his peace. It seems there is still a plot to kill him anyway.
I think you summed that one up well. Life is fleeting and we need to be mindful of where our words could take us.
