Dear Family and Friends, by the time you read this, I will have stepped into the presence of my dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Anyone who trusts and receives Jesus Christ as their personal Savior can only physically die. The real person, the God created soul, the real me expressed through my body has gone to be with the Lord and will not experience one moment of death. Jesus' resurrection changes everyting. What a promise! What a Savior! Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die." John 11:25, 26 (NASB).
