In order to truly appreciate how quickly our lives can end, we need only to stand at
death’s door. I first stood there at the age of 19 while learning that machine gun
bullets can be harmful to one’s health. I stood there again at various moments of
my life and just recently with a thing they call “heart failure”. But death
doesn’t concern me because I know where I am going.
Those who are close by have heard my words “if I am not here, I’ll be there”.
If you can’t find me here on earth, look for me in heaven because that is where I’ll be.
You see I know where I am going.
A man with some form of courage said, just the other day, “I am a heathen,
I don’t need any of that religion stuff!”. Religion? Does that help us to
know where we are going?
Hinduism, Buddhism, Siklism, Shinto, and all of the other scores of religions have
one thing in common: the one they worship has already lived briefly on earth and
is now dead and gone.
