A Breath Away

Soon as a loved one passes they are as close as

a breath away....

The Successful Father

Being a successful father, at least from my viewpoint is

instilling in your child the facts that the child knows they

have a father and that that father loves them.

I believe that these two facts are the foundation

of a successful and fulfilling life.

From my daughter’s birth, I knew that this was my job as

a father, and I made sure that she knew that I loved her.

I believe this helped her in her short life and helped her

In some small way to become the inspiration

that she became to so many people.

I also believe that this is what God has been telling me

all my life, that He is God—My Father and that he loves me.

That He loves me so much that he has given me everything.

This is what makes for a successful and fulfilling life.

Death.

When a person dies, what happens.

We only are aware of what's left behind.

Dreams dashed, hope ends, emptiness abounds.

There's a sick feeling of despair and finality.

A void that nothing could ever fill.

But what happens to the person that died.

It was a person.

Someone's mother or sweet daughter.

Do they just simply cease to be?

Some know, and others hope, that it's just the body that stops working.

That a person is not just the body that they live in.

Just like a person is not the house that they live in.

So is physical death a person passing away - gone

or did they pass 'on' to something or someplace else?

Many believe that a person is made up of body and soul.

They believe that after man was made, his Maker breathed

the breath of life, (his soul) into him and made him a living soul.

So now at conception, we are body and soul, our body grows and grows

but what happens to the soul?

Does the soul die when the body dies?

Does the 'full being' of the person just pass away?

And what's a spirit, anyway? Is it the same as a soul?

The answers will come.
