Dear friends and brother/sisters,

I just wanted to pass along why I haven’t been posting. My mom had an accident on friday the 22nd of August. My family and I have a couple of hard weeks but we are getting through the hard times. My mom suffered a head injury and went through surgary to relieve some swelling on the brain. After the scary couple days my family found out she was getting better. As of today she is home and doing very well. As for a full recovery that will be determined at a later date. I felt I should tell everyone that may read my post. I would ask for prayers on my mom and my family’s behalf. During this time we can see God’s power and love for us. We can see the power of prayer and how the Lord answers those prayers. I am thinking for my Christian family and friends that helped me through this. In all of this I hope my family will learn something and some good will come out of it. I believe they need God and try to understand how to become a Christian. If anyone had any question or comments please don’t be affraid to ask on here or my email (sdmiller18@hotmail.com).

Death is a part of life. As hard, as it seems many of your closes and dearest friends will past before you. Many of us have a hard time thinking that our life may end at the next moment. Our many times do you go out and think this might be my last day. The LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air for I am grieved that I have made them.”(Genesis 6:7).  We see that all of this men and all of the animals where killed without knowing. We have the same time of idea here when it comes to not knowing the plans of God.  It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart (Proverbs 7:2).  As all human beings, we should take death very serious. Death is apart of this world and we should be ready.  Know one in this world is invincible and we all will die someday. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it (I Tim. 6:7) We see here that Paul tells us that we will not be able to take with us when we die. So if we do not know when will go and we cannot take anything with us, then does anything else matter then the moment we have in each day. Therefore, when we have another day granted to us, then we should be grateful to make the most of that day. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books (Rev. 20:12). The death that is before us will come with a judgment that God will judge us on how we lived this life. If this is my only life then I want to live it, as God wants me to live. If this is the only life we are granted don’t you want to make the most every moment you have.
