I am very thankful to be writing this musing. Last Sunday, October 25, 2015, I kind of caused a disruption in the service…not by plan but a disruption just the same. (I am thankful for our “congregational nurses” who came quickly to help Cledith help me at that time.) I was not surprised and was very thankful just the same to learn that the service resumed after my departure and you enjoyed a fine message from Bob and an enjoyable fellowship at the pot luck following the service.

I am musing while reclining in a Lazy Boy chair at my brother’s house in Virginia Beach, VA. An enjoyable holiday here has involved two 175 mile trips from here to Richmond, VA, on Wednesday and Thursday nights. T.J. drives a truck to Richmond International Airport three times a week for a shipping company. Also, we have done a good bit touring around this historic and location of several military installations. We “went aboard” Oceana Naval Air Station, where T.J. was stationed for part of his career. Here we saw the history of Naval air flight in the presence of planes from different eras.

This article assumes that we are going to die. However, we often live each day as though we do not. Some would like to know the date of their death so they could be sure to be ready. Since we know we will die, our concern in this article is how we die. Not whether we die a violent, slow or sudden death but rather, one’s relationship with God at death. This is not a new concern.
