Death Conquered

I found this interesting site on the web http://www.deathclock.com/. Apparently, it can tell the specific date of a person's death. You just need to indicate some personal details. So the information above is my personal day of death. Sounds freaky? Personally, no. This is every man's destiny. Ecclesiates 7:2 says "..., for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart." Yet I know, this isn't the exact date, God can take me anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

I heard news from my sister that her husband's 94-year old lola passed away. Even though we know that she is already with our Father in heaven, still, family members can't help but feel sad. It is human nature. It brought me and my husband again to our favorite discussion, as to what age we prefer to die. The lady has been bed-ridden for quite a long time already. Likewise, my husband's lolo is almost 90 years old. He has no illness, still able to walk around with help though not very strong anymore. Yet whenever we go visit him, he would say that he wants to die already. It must be really hard living each day, just waiting for your hour of death to come. This is something that my husband and I wouldn't want to go through. Well, it's just our wish. God is still in control.

However, WHEN is not really the most important question here. But WHERE? Yes, there is life after death. And it is an eternal life. Forever! Eternity in heaven or eternity in hell. There is no place in between, contrary to popular belief. There is a way to be certain, now in this lifetime. It is a personal decision though. No doubt, it is the most important decision one can make in his/her life. May no man tarry.
