63. As Darkness Falls by louis gander  
    Some say that no
    one's perfect so,

    Although their minds are thinking,
    although their bodies fed,

65. Slips Away by louis gander  
    We think we have life figured out.

73. GREAT WOES BETIDE A CHRISTLESS GRAVE! by SIXTUS ONYEANUSI  
    Most people fear death itself
    But what should be feared
    Is where they go after death
    
    A Christless death is an eternal tragedy!
    No hope! No relief! No remedy!
    
    The thought of that alone makes me tremble
    Again, dying outside Christ is so terrible!

75. Public Enemy Number 1 by Alan Allegra  
    Sitting in my favorite writing chair, I morosely recall it was exactly one week ago that we took our sick kitty down the Last Mile to be relieved of her suffering. It has also been five hours since we signed a purchase agreement for a new vehicle, consigning my 17-year-old car to the ash heap of history. Furry friend or Japanese jalopy, all reach their end.

    but stubborn guilt had gripped me so
    and hadn't left me yet.
    
    
78. Then They Played Taps by Frances J. Harvey, C.P.C.  
    After the flag was removed, there was just a plain gray box! Nothing fancy, no carvings, no beautiful wood, no gold or silver. Almost as plain as he came in the world...he went out. For a brief second I thought, "Open the box and prove to me he's in there!" But I knew he was.
    
    Next there was a gun salute - they brought her the 3 shells! As I looked at them in my mothers hands it reminded me of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and the hope that we have in Jesus Christ. It also was a symbol of how our bodies are just a shell and when we die, they are emptied and it's our spirit and soul that live for eternity..."if we believe". A small glimpse of peace came. It is going to be alright!

80. Our Life by Elsie Schuett Flynn  
    Dear You,
    
    You know, I look back on our life kind-of-like riding the back-roads, cruising around like all the locals did. Before we were us, we rode with our moms and dads in their cars. Then, we got out of their cars, became us, and got our own car. How blissful; it was just you and me. Just us.
    
    
81. By the Bushel by louis gander  
    Two weeks and a day since mom passed away.

    Tears run down my cheeks each time someone speaks
    and mentions my dear ol' mother.
    
    
82. Perfect Mom (in Heaven), The by louis gander  
    The vivid 'reds' are deeper and the 'yellows' brighter still.
    The roses, and the daffodils and other flowers fill -
    the contours of the garden knolls with colored trees of fall.
    The sunshine brightens everything ...and now I see it all.
    
    
83. The Mighty Ship by louis gander  
    Oh, the contrast between the physical and the spiritual...
    The brand new car, the hand-held game
    or other things we chose,
    the TV set, the picture frame
    or nice designer clothes,

86. Where Do We Go When We Die? by Wayne Childress  
    We should be wary of those who contend on issues that are not central to our following Jesus; but, that does not mean we should discussing such issues. Death will come to us all so it is natural to ponder such things.
    
    
87. Grandpa's Wisdom by louis gander  
    Before the jets, before the planes,
    before the cars and traffic lanes,
    before genetics changed our corn,
    before the IRS was even born,
    before CD's and movie stars,
    before the rover got to mars -
    was born a man, a little tot,
    who endured much, but learned a lot.

89. Know It All by louis gander  
    Do you know what? Our minds are shut,
    when we hear Jesus call.
    A life of ease - and then Hades.
    We think we know it all.
    
    
90. The Human Machine by Olawale Ogunsola  
    Maintenance is important to increase the lifespan of any machine. So it is with man. However, every man will expire no matter the rate or extent of his maintenance.
