Blog post #47: My Obituary
Last Saturday my brother died and today I will be traveling to North Carolina to be with his family. After reflecting on his obituary, I went back through my correspondence and found something I wrote to a friend’s family after the friend had died. In it I tell what I would write for my own obituary after I have died. This is a compilation of several of the testimonies I have included in Heaven Is Beyond Imagination. After reading Heaven Is Beyond Imagination, you might write your own obituary. If you do I would love to read it.
Someday if you should hear of my death, don’t believe it. I will be more alive than I have ever been. I will be in perfect health, fit, energetic, with a joyful spirit. My mind will be sharper and more capable. I will solve problems that now confound me. All my senses will be enhanced. My hearing will be clearer than it ever was, and I will hear tones far above and below what I ever was able to hear before. My vision will be so sharp I will see clearly things that are miles away. My peripheral vision will be so good I will be able to see behind me. I will run faster and jump higher than I could in my prime. And I will be one handsome dude! I will have no internal organs but if I choose to eat, I will taste the most wonderful fruit I have ever known, and after eating, it will just vaporize. I will never need a bathroom again. Although my body will be translucent, it will look like the same me you have always known, albeit with all flaws and aging removed. When I have shed this bag of molecules that holds me back, I will be the perfection I was meant to be. No, I will not have died, I will just have graduated to the perfect life I have always longed for. I hope you have received God’s forgiveness so when you leave your bag of molecules behind you will join me in this great new life.
