The Lesson?

[Edgewise]

The focus part is right on,,,, the way I sypher it edge...you labor hard,
all day, week, month, year, and just when you think you got er licked,
Bamm, your life or the one closes to you is gone , just like that,
so when you think you have reached the other side of your labors,
dot not forget the folk's who help you get there, and appreciate every minute
and continue to try your best for yourself and all folk's you meet in general

And the question remains, "Are you ready?"

I used to think so but the older I get I realize that its not my prerogative to decide.

Ah, but it is...
"Choose for yourselves this day..."
"For all who call..."

Thanks for the references, Steve. I'll be sure to look them up.

Closing in on the end of days for my stay on Earth. I remember thinking "This is not a good time" during my first heart attack. Then I reflected, "There is never a good time."
If everyone is special, no one is special, "no good time" includes the corollary, "no bad time".
So getting taken immediately after surviving against all odds is spiritually no different than dying in bed. I hold to that and it gives comfort.

True, when you're gone from here, you're gone here. But do you know where you'll be going?

As Steve has iterated multiple times, we do not have to live in doubt. We can be assured of our salvation. It takes a simple step of faith.
