"It is the will of God and Nature that these mortal bodies be laid aside, when the soul is to enter into real life; 'tis rather an embrio state, a preparation for living; a man is not completely born until he be dead: Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals?"

It is truly the most reliable part of life - we will all experience death and Praise God those of us who have accepted His gift of salvation will awake to eternal life. soli deo gloria - glory to God alone.
