how often have you heard on the radio,or tv news or maybe a neighbor told you that brother Fred,or sister Dora was found dead in their home never no more will they roam.I wonder what was sister Dora and brother Fred doing when the lord came a calling?did they die quietly in their sleep,or were they watching tv,or cooking dinner,or praying?I can hear them both saying Lord I don,t want to die alone.Lord I would like to put in my request early.I would like to die quietly in my sleep,but if that is not possible I would like to have time to call my family to my bedside.everyone have some fear of dying,and a person like me,who has never died before has some fear,but lord I will put my fear aside with pride,if you will not let me die alone.
