@MissPriscillaPrim (For the record, the first deleted message was LadyGrace asking about my photo, and the second one was her assenting peaceably. I suppose she then looked at my profile, and deleted these two comments.)
@MissPriscillaPrim For the record...you have totally assumed wrong. In the first deleted message, I had looked at your profile as I could not make out the avatar, so then asked about it. Then you recommended we PART in peace (didn’t know we were at war) and that I [u]don’t ask anymore questions[/u] and gave the reasons why. What was I supposed to think! You shut that door. Not me. I erased my attempt to be friends since that’s the way you wanted it.
Heaven is the place of perfect happiness—and one of its greatest joys will be our reunion with those who have gone there before us. God loves us, and He won’t withhold that joy from us.
How do we know this? We know it first of all from the Bible’s explicit teaching. When King David’s infant son was taken from him, David felt his loss very keenly—but he also knew he would see him again. David declared, “I will go to him” (2 Samuel 12:23). When Jesus was transfigured (or changed) before the eyes of some of His disciples and they glimpsed His heavenly glory, we’re told that Moses and Elijah appeared with Him—proof that we retain our individuality in heaven (see Luke 9:28-36).
We know it too because the Bible tells us we will be together in heaven. In other words, we won’t be separated from each other. At the end of time, “we who are still alive and are left, will be caught up together. … And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

This poem by Stephen Crane moved me deeply in my teens.
A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it --
It was clay.
Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was the ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.
A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it --
It was clay.
Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was the ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.

I do I do I do..I'm counting on that..I have to..this amazing self,we humans have, this genius of design of our body,our feelings, our mind, they cant just go to waste and ends at death..they must be more after that..this life is so unfair, justice must be served, and after life sounds the perfect one

@windinhishair I'd like to believe that there is something after this. My mother had a near death experience too...she was on the USS Enterprise and sat beside Uhura...but she never once watched Startrek. I'm skeptical :>
