Possibly the number one response is: "I hope so ..."

I say, "It depends."

You ask, "What kind of answer is that? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, it depends on how hard I get hit!"

And there is much to consider.

Of course, there is the thought of the afterlife.

And there is the consideration of family.  Can anyone ever really prepare their family for something like that??

I'm told that it is very difficult for parents to have their children pass away before they do.  I am so thankful to still have both my parents ...and I love them dearly.

Of course, my main consideration is for my wife and children.

Actually, the question was first presented to me by a group of three gentlemen ...when I was in college. 

Most recently though, the question was asked at a concert last evening, presented by the Orion Chamber Music Society, nurtured and conducted by Leonard G. Holliday.  There are several by that name, but this group is centered out of Lake Orion, Michigan.  

Mr. Holliday is in his 80's ...and still gets around well, and doesn't miss a beat.  He is a great inspiration, an encouragement to the youth, and a blessing to us all. 

Leonard asked the question, prompting us to once again not only consider our eternal salvation, but that of others also.

Prayerfully ...


Some people would like to imagine what kind of car they'd like to get hit by ...that is, if they are going to get hit.


If I go to the hospital, my Mom would say to hope I don't have on holey underwear.

If I die before I get to the hospital, I have a Holy God who sent His Son, Jesus, with the hope of accepting Him for our eternal salvation ...or as most would say, the promise of Heaven.

There is only One by that Name ...whether Jesus, Yeshua, or whatever language pronunciation, He is by Name, the Son of God.

God, the Father, sent His Son ...who willingly died for our sins, yet lives and was there as the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the deep, at Creation.

Yes, I know it's deep, yet it is also simple.

Simply, accept God's love ...and the promise we have by accepting Jesus.
