‘Today is a good day to die’.

‘Better to die on your feet, than to live on your knees’.

We all die-the fortunate get to choose how.

The Egyptians studied death in order to be prepared. What body will our spirit inhabit upon death?

Should we start building that body while her on earth so that it’s strong when we pass over to the spirit realm?

This is what Jesus meant when he said he was storing up treasure in heaven. It’s our etheric body which is build one good unselfish deed at a time.

Yet our culture tells us to do the opposite. Live like there’s no tomorrow.

No wonder we’re afraid to die. Giving your life for another has to be a huge way to build up your heavenly body and war-giving birth-standing up for the innocent is the way to go.

These are chances for character development. Strong souls don't come from smooth sailing.

Very true: "When the odds become unsurmountable something stirs within us, and we rise above fear and despair with a sudden and inexplicable desire to stand to the end." All our hero stories come from this.

In our time, we pray to stand firm in faith, be courageous, and act like men.
