This new page to my website has long been needed. If you have read my
book, you know where I am coming from. If not there is something you need to
know. Those of you who are veterans may have witnessed death in the heat of
battle. When it comes about in that venue, there is very little thought about what
is taking place, except it is very traumatic and sad. All other times of death are
naturally sad but to far too many, it is also confusing and to some even
frightening. This should not be if you are a thinking person who is also a
Christian. Read below for help on this subject.

ARE YOU READY?
...A simple question, but what do I mean?
I am in my middle to upper 80's and just attended a funeral of a dear friend. After the funeral, I over heard
some talking about the "fear of death." What troubled me most was that they looked like they were almost as
old as myself. What could cause such apprehension?
My challenge to any who are thinking the same is to get out your "truth book," the BIBLE. It does not lie.
What is all the hoopla over this transition the Bible refers to as death???? For that is all death is, an invisible
vehicle into that wonderful place called Eternal Life. What, in heaven's name, is wrong with entering into
Eternal Bliss, where there is no more sorrow, pain or unhappiness?
I fear that, for the last two centuries, writers and Hollywood has warped the minds of their gullible readers and
watchers into believing outright lies, and that has to be changed.
Now let's look into real truth. For starters, turn off the radio and TV, then go find your Bible. It may take
awhile, but look up the following Scriptures:
-1- Start with the New Testament, St. John, the 5th chapter, and 39th verse. Don't get in a hurry...let that sink
in.
-2- Turn to the Old Testament, Isaiah 53rd chapter, verses 1 through 11. Think about both of these Scriptures
for a bit.
-3- Now go to the New Testament again, to the book of Hebrews, the 11th chapter and the 1st verse. Then to
II Corinthians, the 4th chapter and the 18th verse. Exercise this faith.
-4- Read St. John, chapter 3, verses 16 and 17, then verse 5 through verse 7.
-5- Next, go to the book of Romans, 10th chapter, verses 9 and 10.
If you have read and believed what you have read, then the following applies to you:
-6- In the New Testament still, go to Philippians, chapter 1 and verses 21 through 23; then read II Corinthians
5 th chapter and verses 6 through 8.
-7- Read about the easy transition, considering again John 5:39, then read the Old Testament Psalm 23, vs. 4
with New Testament, St. John chapter 14, verse 3.
You don't transition alone...
Are you ready?
If you have read the above, also read in the New Testament The 17th chapter of the book of
John.
Read this over at least 5 times to let it sink in. Remember the Bible is absolutely true.
