Life Here and Now
Life on earth is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be. A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity....
We all have different journey's, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay.... Our destination is a place far greater than we know, some the journey's quicker, and for some the journey's slow....
When the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward, and find an ever lasting peace together with the Lord....
