Then I read this book called "Saved by The Light" by Danion Brinckly. It was the most amazing book I had ever read! I don't usually like to read because I have ADD and have a hard time concentrating and comprehending what I am reading. But this book I could not put down!!! |

Death itself is not a worry. My wife thinks that I died last year. I was having real problems breathing and slowly, everything just went black. no Pain, no angels singing,nothing. All I know is that I WOKE up with my wife leaning over me shouting BREATH. She had managed to get me breathing again. There was nothing but the blackness that you get when you go to sleep. So death is not a thing that I fear any more. |

I watched my husband's grandmother die of Fibrosis of the lungs. That was so hard to watch. Lyn, I know there is life after death. And it is a place where we will have no pain and will feel overwhelmed with love. But our work is not done here. There is still work to be done there until the second coming. I just pray that when it is judgement day I will make it into the Celestial Kingdom! |

She told me that I had stopped breathing for about 5 minutes. What did scare me was the look on her face. I couldnt work out what I had done wrong. lol.

It came in handy that day. And yes it was a peacefull experience. Just like going into a dreamless sleep, warm, pitch black and silent. Then the shock of her crushing my chest and shouting at me. Boy that is enough to scare anybody. lol |
