“Now, I know that someday I am going to come to what some people will say is the end of this life. They will probably put me in a box and roll me right down here in front of the church, and some people will gather around, and a few people will cry. But I have told them not to do that because I don’t want them to cry. I want them to begin the service with the Doxology and end with the Hallelujah chorus, because I am not going to be there, and I am not going to be dead. I will be more alive than I have ever been in my life, and I will be looking down upon you poor people who are still in the land of dying and have not yet joined me in the land of the living. And I will be alive forevermore, in greater health and vitality and joy than ever, ever, I or anyone has known before.”

Wow, great quote! I think that it is amazing how much fear is still in the hearts of people of other faiths when they die. It is sad really. The peace that comes from knowing Christ, can not be compared.
Just got a link to your blog from the Raymers. You may not remember me, I stayed with you guys 2 years ago for a day or so ;) I am sure you have many visitors, but it is nice to see an update on how you all are doing.
