[ Christianity], in and of itself, sets itself apart inherently, and so, for somebody to say, Well it just seems to me like you can pick between all these religions and still have the same thing.

We see a hearse; we think sorrow. We see a grave; we think despair. We hear of a death; we think of a loss. Not so in heaven. When heaven sees a breathless body, it sees the vacated cocoon & the liberated butterfly.

When we submit to God's plans, we can trust our desires. Our assignment is found at the intersection of God's plan and our pleasures.

When Jesus died on the cross, so did your sin; when He rose from the dead, so did your HOPE.

God understands how you feel and has faced what you face.

As long as you are stationary, no one will complain. Dogs don't bark at parked cars.
