As a kid I fantasized about how wonderful it would be to be immortal. Now days I'm not so sure it would be. You can never outlive your feelings and love that you have for those you have had your life and cared about, who are no longer there. It would seem that it would haunt you to where you would long for death. [/color]
Dreams of immortality.

It sure seems funny that all these family members especially the kids who you hardly ever see or hear from.
All seem to show up when Joanne is here. But she told me this morning that she is having Mayflower move a lot of
her stuff down here to her place up in Hondo. That might stop some of that if she's to far away.
One can only hope.

This talk of immortality has passed through my mind, especially since I have passed my 80th birthday. I look at it this way, ...My remaining son and his family are doing fine. My son holds 3 jobs, two of which pay a salary. The third is founder and director of a Christian charity which builds ramps, decks etc and even whole houses for veterans or the truly needy...but he doesn't get any pay at all.
My grandsons are all successful at their trades and all with their families, living close to the Lord..And my teenaged granddaughter is not only beautiful, but one any grandpa would be pleased with and proud of. I thank the Lord that of all my descendants mentioned here, none have given thought to alcohol, pot or any other drugs.
Now this old body is getting tired, even today I have some kind of cold or flu that has knocked me for a loop. Much stuffed head, mucous, pain & swelling which moves from joint to joint and general headache..been going on for days now.
Those who know me now know that my wife of 60 years has been suffering from Parkinson's and has been in a nursing home for a bit over a year..
All this to say..my charge (my family) is all on solid footing. I cannot recall or count the numbers I have personally led to the Lord... I have left very respectable 'tracks' in this world.
Therefore, seeing as we have as many beyond the Jordan as on this side...A son, brothers & sisters, parents, inlaws etc......neither of us fear the renewing of the love and fellowship which we once shared with them.
I will leave the fear trepidation to the unbelievers..

Yes; I have encountered some weird situations which I cannot adequately explain. One was when I was serving in Germany and a buddy and I were travelling and we 'discovered; an old Roman mini coliseum near Trier Germany. Of course we did not discover ...except for ourselves. The Romans liked their "games", so they built these throughout Roman occupied Europe.
Let us cut to the chase..We paid our 50 pfennigs and wandered through the structure, to include the now exposed under floor labrynth. I found myself giving a 'guided tour', explaining just how the animals were shuttled to the ground surface, where the gladiator waited their call and how opponents were kept separated until they face each other in mortal combat.
I reject reincarnation, but have not ruled out some kind of DNA "memory" which may have been passed down through my genetics. There is much we don't know about DNA !

Very interesting, thank you for your input.
A friend shared this video, it is different. Listen with an open mind
as I and my family members have experienced some of the
things she speaks of, and been with people who denied Christ
all their lives and did not leave this life in peace at all, very traumatically
in fact whereas those we know who crossed over in Christ went with great peace.
Eye hath no seen, nor ear heard what we will enter into if we are His.

That is interesting IG I've never thought of that angle before. It might explain a lot of the things some people feel about another existence. Or a vivid memory of it which many complely sane people say they have experienced.
There is a kid near here who swears he has dreams of him dying at Normandy, almost recurring nightmares.
Of the same event every time. He says at times he is afraid to fall asleep.
If this is true I guess I was a slave or something during the time of the Pharaohs. But that was 3000 years ago that's an awfully long memory. But like that kid I've had that dream several times, but I know very little about that time in history.
It wouldn't be movie associated or why would I always be a slave? Like you so well stated we just don't know.
But like goodshot says one day we will all know.

Off topic, goodshot Joanne made it but just barely. She is trashed and sleeping all the time. She was armed but why does this woman travel around with so much cash? Niska found it in her bag putting up her clothes, she said it looks like Joanne is a drug dealer or something.
She has multiple credit cards so it makes no sense. But Joanne is from humble Brooklyn roots after our mom and dad separated as a small child maybe that's it? She went with our mom who moved to NYC and worked as a waitress living on tips.
It's like money means very little to her because as a child they never had any. Now she doesn't know what to do with it she just likes working. Crazy that you travel around with that kind of money in the trunk of a BMW.
We are going to talk to her about this.

The depression generation were impacted the rest of their lives from the events of their childhood.
I think I posted this before how a man who had survived the nazi camps was fearful of being starved
while working at an air force radar site, if the van with lunch was late he would be very nervous.
I too reject reincarnation as it is presented, yet I am satisfied that He can do anything He wants to do
in any way He wants to do it. Be it done to us according to His will.
Blessings

I was 11 0r so and an old man said to me when I said I was afraid to die don't worry son if you live as long as I have lived life will prepare you for death. Now that I am going on 80 years I know what he means, I have aches and pains that I wish would go away but they don't I am a veteran and a retired police officer I have faced both fronts. I never would want to live forever as all the people I hold dear would be gone this I couldn't take I hope my bride of 55 years and I both die in our sleep together.

It's a heck of a lot Goodshot I've never seen anything like this before. She had a safe put in at her place in Hondo.
A Diebold that's bank stuff. She wants to take it all up there, then move in. She cleaned out one of her Cali accounts.
We think she is a prepper.

The alien said during the interview there is no God like we think it. It's a myth. Let's say everything we have been taught is wrong. Now for the ones who say there is no Bigfoot how do you believe in God?
Ever see God? The people the ancients saw were aliens who looked like us with special powers who the ancients thought were gods.
Einstein said there could be more dimensions. Now think about recarnation. Our bodies are vessels to get us to the next life. Think about it how many lives do we have?
I been reincarnated, I died in ww2 on a b17/b25 bomber over Germany. I know this for sure. My question is do we stay in this dimension or move to the next.
There's proof of time travel. We've gone back in time to the civil was. I feel all this ties together somehow.

the alien thing I think is spiritual, and they are from the wrong side,part of the end times delusion.
Our faith teaches us there is no reincarnation.
Our knowledge of science, last I heard, indicates there may be as many as 11 dimensions.
It all ties together I am sure, and it ties together in Christ.

When my #2 older brother passed on April Fools day at 1am we thought it was a joke. He had a massive stroke. Now he comes to my #3 brother in a dream who is still alive and tells him everything will be ok when he passes on because my #2 brother is at the pearly gates.
