Life after death

A very funny humorist, Leonard @jakedduck1 has written that laughter is the best medicine. He started a thread entitled "How about a laugh, (hopefully)". A lot of us have posted to that discussion group.

Because Jason loved lizards, I was hoping it might bring a smile to your face, if you read my comment in that group posted three days ago from today. It's about a lizard.

Today is a brand-new day!

Morning Lagrange5,
Thanks....I couldn't see your posting..perhaps you could send to me.

Even as a small child Jason would catch lizards without harming them..they all retained their tails!
He was a magical child...a sweet kid all the way....Overcoming many obstacles in his short life with humor and kindness towards others. He remembered his 'former' life..and would tell me about it..that story never changed...
I was blessed to be his 2nd mom...as I got this little bundle of joy when he was 6 days old. He was always a joy. I have no doubt that he will return in some form for another go-round..as twice was not enough!
I'm off for a walk..taking my loved ones memories with me....
Enjoy your day as well! Bunky

If you have Netflix, watch
Life After Death with Tyler Henry.
Another good series on Netflix I think is called
Surviving death

Hello Bunky.

What happy and positive memories you have...

I posted a punny joke in that other discussion group:

"A lizard got up on his hind legs and started telling jokes.
He was a stand-up chameleon."

@kratz5 here’s something interesting about Lee Strobel - it probably is in his book, but I thought perhaps it would interest anyone who does not or is not interested in reading his book …? 🤷🏼‍♀️

LEE STROBEL THE CASE FOR CHRIST

There are those who have accused Lee Strobel of fabricating certain facts in his best-selling book The Case for Christ. Especially under fire is his purported method of objective investigative journalism. These arguments cannot be ignored and certainly cripple not only the case but the cause for Christ. But underneath all the controversy, there is one undeniable truth: Lee Strobel was an atheist who had a change of heart.

From a young age Strobel, it seemed, was a natural newspaperman. At 13, he single-handedly produced a four-page paper for neighborhood delivery. He worked first as a journalist and then as an assistant managing editor. He got married and eventually had two children with his wife, Leslie.

He was also a cynical atheist and violent alcoholic. During one argument with Leslie, he managed to kick a hole through the living room wall. As a child, his daughter routinely avoided him. When he would come home—usually drunk—she would head for the safety of her bedroom.

When Strobel moved his family to a new home, Leslie became best friends with their new neighbor, Linda. Linda was a Christian. The more time Leslie spent with Linda, the more she would hear about Jesus. Then Linda began asking Leslie to attend church with her, and finally Leslie went—and went and went. One day, she came home and told Strobel that she was a Christian.

Strobel was furious. His first thought was of divorce. He then became determined to prove to Leslie that Christianity was nothing but a cult. The next weekend, he joined her at church and then proceeded to spend almost the next two years trying to disprove the existence of Jesus Christ. At the end of that time, on November 8, 1981, after Strobel weighed all of his research and evidence, he had to admit that he believed Jesus Christ was not only a real person but also the Son of God.

He traded his career in journalism for one as a Christian teaching pastor, author, and speaker. Most of all, he became a different kind of husband and father. He stopped drinking, worked on his anger, and spent more time with his family. Witnessing this transformation, his five-year-old daughter announced that she also wanted God to do in her life what He had done in her father’s life.

Ultimately, one fact is certain: God transforms people’s hearts.

Reflect: How has God affected your relationships with your family members? If you are unsure, you might ask them.

Thank you, Colleen.

Amen!

So beautiful! Yes, my son's legacy is love.

His memory is a blessing.
