    A friend sent me this today. Here's one way to explain death...

    WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT....

    A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to

    Leave the examination room and said,

    'Doctor, I am afraid to die.

    Tell me what lies on the other side.'

    Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.'

    'You don't know? You, a Christian man,

    Do not know what is on the other side?'


    The doctor was holding the handle of the door;

    On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,

    And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room

    And leapt on him with an eager show of gladness.

    Turning to the patient, the doctor said,

    'Did you notice my dog?

    He's never been in this room before.

    He didn't know what was inside.

    He knew nothing except that his master was here,

    And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.

    I know little of what is on the other side of death,

    But I do know one thing...


    I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

    Really puts in perspective. Everyone seems to be at least a little scared of it, but when you look at it like that...well said PT!

    Excellent way to explain it!

    And I agree with you Mark.. no fear here... been dying all my life. There is nothing to fear if you're going home in the end
