A Perspective on Death: Part 1

Death doesn't scare me too much. It's knowing that I'm going to Heaven that alleviates the fear. But, the way I might die is what gives me the creeps.
But I try not to think about it too much. I just try to remember a few things which tend to settle my nerves about death:

1. This world isn't Heaven. Who would want to be here for eternity??

2. Thank God that we die and go somewhere else... What a relief.

3. And, as mentioned in Part 1, Death is the only thing keeping me from Heaven.

I might acquire some kind of terminal illness and die... I might get in a car wreck and die... I might even be in some kind of freak accident involving tanning beds and slushies, which would result in a closed-casket funeral... But however I may die won't matter. What will matter is how I fulfilled my purpose during my lifetime [that's what God will care about anyway].
