The Most interesting story i ever heard was told me years ago by a man over eighty years of age. We were sitting together on a projecting rock of a mountainside in Arkansas. Here is the story.
"I was down in this country during the civil war. Across on the other side yonder there were hundreds of tents where soldiers were encamped. Measles broke out and many of the brave lads died. The epidemic got so bad we stretched some tents farther down the valley and moved all the measles patients into these tents. This of course, was done to protect as far as possible the health of the well soldiers. I was wardmaster in charge of the tents where the measles patients were located.
"One night while i was on the ward I passed a bunk where there was a very sick soldier lad not more than seventeen years of age. The boy looked at me with a pathetic expression and said, 'Wardmaster, I believed I am going to die. I am not a Christian. My Mother isn't a Christian. My Father isn't a Christian. I never had any Christian training. I never did attend Church. I did go with a boy friend to Sunday School just once. A woman taught the Sunday School class. She seemed to be such a good woman. She read us something out of the Bible about a man - I think His name was Nicodemus. Anyway, it was about a man who went to see JESUS one night. JESUS told this man he must be Born Again. The Teacher said all people must be Born Again in order to go to HEAVEN when they die. I have never been born again, and I don't want to die like this. Won't you please get the Chaplain so he can tell me how to be Born Again?"

Asleep To Danger - Story By F. G. Watson
A number of Years ago, a freight train was standing at a station in Northern Ontario, waiting for orders to proceed north. The conductor was in the station getting order; the forward crew was in the cab of the engine; and the rear brakeman was sitting in the caboose at the rear. They knew another freight train was following close behind, and knew the semaphore was down to protect them.
The Rear brakeman heard the oncoming train and expected every moment to hear it slow down, but there was no slackening of speed. At last he realized something must be wrong, so grabbing his lantern, he rushed out on to the rear platform to see the train coming right under the semaphore. He ran down the track, waving his lantern to attract the attention of the engineer, but at last had to step aside to avoid being killed. As the engine passed, he threw his lantern through the window. This was the first thing to arouse the engineer whom he had seen nodding as the engine approached him. But ere the engineer could stop or jump,

A Saint Gone Home After A Long Uneasy Journey From Earth.
It Was a Journey that started several years ago, a journey with so many experiences, joy and sadness, struggles and battles, rising and falling and victory, a journey which came to an end on Sunday the 20th of March 2011.
I was still at the Church when i was told a saddening news of the death of a beloved Christian brother, father and a darling of mine who has been a great lover of GOD and GOD's people since the 70's. The news of his death was so painful to me as he was a close brother and friend to me and i did see him so healthy at the previous Church service.
At the end of the service i hurried with a brother to his house which is just a little distance from mine only to find

GoodBye 2010 - Welcome 2011 Another 365 days of Journey From Earth
Thank You Dear LORD its the end of another 365 days of Journey from Earth and a New Beginning for another 365 days of Journey from Earth,
Dear Reader, Today Saturday the 1st of January 2011 Marks the 2nd Year of This Blog which creation was inspired by an inspiring revelation i came across which i shared on my First Post which can still be found here. Its a Clear fact that Today marks a great day in our Lives as we go about counting our Blessings through the year 2010 while planning for the successes we hope for in 2011.
But While doing this we still need to bear in mind that there are thousands if not millions of people who wished they could see this day with us but unfortunately they are not here today with us, all about them is now history. They came to this world on a Transit like everyone of us but they had to move on with their Journey of Life and have settled down at their destinations.
Friend, The fact remains that not everyone who saw the end of 2010 and entered into the year 2011 will live through it to the end of the year, as time passes on us so are we getting closer to the day of Our departure from this transit camp called earth. and on a daily basis people will keep moving on leaving loved ones and well wishers behind reminding us that the Journey is actually a personal one that we all must go through individually.
I could still remember some wonderful people i knew who passed on in 2010, but one still struck my mind about a Christian Sister and Family Friend who
