It is always shocking to learn that ambition, power, beauty, wealth, and even youth and health cannot guarantee a long life.
When those who commit acts of terror and evil blow themselves up in the name of false religions and hateful ideologies, people seem to take solace in knowing that there is “warm” place waiting for these monsters somewhere.
Those same people refuse to consider that those monsters who blow holes in the lives of the innocent tend to banish the innocent to the same “warm” place when the innocent (decent, kind, everyday people like you) are slaughtered without a savior.
As we mourn the senseless loss of the innocent in Paris, France, imagine how much more solace it would bring to the survivor’s soul if they knew that their loved ones had graduated from life to life to a true City of Light.
“Therefore keep watch, for you know not the day or hour…” – Matthew 25:13
“Be alert and of a sober mind, for your adversary the devil prowls around, roaring like a lion, seeking whom he may devour.” –I Peter 5:8
