What will happen to me?
The third most important question is "What will happen to me when I die?" Here are some quotes to help your thinking along these lines:
"Evil can be cast out, not by man alone nor by a dictatorial God who invades our lives, but when we open the door and invite God through Christ to enter. 'Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.' God is too courteous to break open the door, but when we open it in faith believing, a divine and human confrontation will transform our sin-ruined lives into radiant personalities."
Martin Luther King
Grace – U2
Grace, she takes the blameShe covers the shame
Removes the stainIt could be her name
Grace, it's the name for a girlIt's also a thought that could change the world
And when she walks on the street you can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything
Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work you can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flue for her lipsNo twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurtWhat once was friction
What left a mark no longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything
King Solomon. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die.”
Famous last words.
General Jon B Sedgwick:“They couldn’t hit an elephant from this distance.”
H.G. Wells“Go away… I’m all right.”

I am back from my whirlwind visit of the South Island. I had a great time with Ben Little from Hillsong at The Battlecry Youth Conference held in Dunedin. I spoke at Oamaru CLC on Sunday Morning then up to Timaru for a Youth Leaders meeting and I spoke in their Evening Service.
I have been so inspired by the quality of young people around the South Island. I managed to stop in at Wellington for a couple of hours and caught up with Kellee Teal and baby Ruben.
So good to be home though. I missed Andrea.
