What is death? Some see it as departure,
never to return, anywhere!! Some see it
as a relief from their pain here. Some
see it as simply escape from the agony
of this world. And some simply refuse to
even think of it, would rather deny it.
Yet, from the moment of birth we are
destined to die..
I see death as God's reward when our
work here is done - our meeting with
the Great Almighty. What a day that
will be too. I will not call it on,
that is not my choice, it is His. But,
when He calls I will be ready. Are you?
Jesus said:
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also. John 14:2,3.
For we know that if our earthly house of
this tabernacle were dissolved, we have
a building of God, and house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. --11 Cor. 5:1.

~~Consider The Cross ~~
The cross that you carry in life
May seem too heavy to bear
And times you often wonder
Is anyone willing to care?
Sometimes you feel you are all alone
As so many times you have cried,
As you wonder who is listening
Or even care if you died.
Let your mind go back to Calvary
To an old, old rugged cross,
When Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Died to save the lost.
What was going through His mind
When everyone turned away?
Did He feel deserted
As we do sometimes today?
Is the cross you carry worth it all
To earn a crown some day?
Just think about it for a while
You'll find that it will pay.

~~ Weep Not For Me~~
If some day soon the words stop coming
Like they are coming now,
Do not fear and weep for me
And wonder where I am somehow.
For I will be in a better land
Free from all my pain,
And I will never suffer heartaches
And will have a brand new name.
I may be going home soon, I'm not sure.
Jesus will set the time.
Then I'll leave this world behind me
And to my mansion I will climb.
I hope I will leave a memory of me
Or be a blessing in some way
That when you stop and think of me
You will smile throughout the day.
That's what I really want in this life
Not riches, glory or fame;
But to win a soul for Jesus' Kingdom
And believe upon His name.
So, if the words stop coming to you
Please do not weep for me.
Just notice all the butterflies
And know I am set free.

~~If I Had The Wings Of An Eagle ~~
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would up and fly away.
Fly so far over the clouds
On a bright and sunny day.
I would fly all over this big, wide world.
Just land from here to there
Long enough to grasp the beauty
Of different places so far.
I would fly so free, just the wind and me,
Deep in the bright blue sky . . .
And search for the place where angels live
And there for a rest I would lie.
Then I would travel on my journey
Far over the land and sea,
Looking around for my destiny
That I know is awaiting me.
Oh, to have wings like an eagle
Just to fly into the air;
Fly away from all my troubles
That I have had to bear
