Is Heaven Real?

    This week I received another unsigned letter without an address.  I have received a few of these lately.  I am sure they all come from the same source.  In this particular letter the unknown author begins with this statement "Why don't you leave now?  We won't miss you.  If "that place" is so great, you should do anything to get there now.  The letter was obviously from a Jehovah Witness as He or She spent their time talking about how that only 144,000 were going to Heaven and that even John the Baptist won't make it.
    I am glad that Heaven is a real place.  And I am glad that Jesus said that I could go there.  The cancer in my body may be the means that God uses to seperate me from this world.  I will say as D.L. Moody used to say "If you read my obituary don't believe a word of it.  I will be more alive then  than I've ever been before.  I am thankful that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." 
   I appreciate your continued prayers on my behalf.  I am in the process of taking another round of chemotherapy this week.  You have been gracious friends that have proved over and over again that you love me and you are lifting my name to the Father.
