[edit] A story retold
In Africa the white people had settled in the Southern-most part where the climate is cool and plenty of farming land. These were people known as "Boers" who came to settle from Holland and Europe. I believe it was part of what was called "Rhodesia" or now known as Zimbabwe. There was a writer (Bosman) who wrote in a small book "Unto Dusk" that I remembered reading.
The story was told about a white settler killed by a "Kafir" ( tall Africian native - same size like the white people) or warrior who were the cattle men until they lose their grazing ground to the settlers. So their war was about the land.
One incident occurred when a white settle was killed by an ambush. In return the native Kafir was shot by another who was hidden in the bush. Their corpses laid side by side in the bush, and the animals had came to devour the flesh. Nothing remained except the white skeletons of two fighters - one black another white. However when the bones were concerned it was altogether shinny white; nothing left of the flesh.
The family of the white man came back to look for the remains. Surprise at what they saw; there were the bones of two skeletons as the Man who shot the Kafir located the place where they were lain, however unable to distinguish the white from the black!
So the family took home to bury all the skeleton in the single grave marked with the name of the white person. There was nothing they could do about it; as the DNA testing did not existed yet.
The point I made is this: what does it means when death made us all the same? It's "Unto Dusk" again! Will those who claimed anything count in eternity?
[edit] All men are brothers in death
I must emphaise that the family were in deep anguish when they could not separate those two skeletons..the kafir was their enemy, yet in death they became "brothers".
Nevertheless as Christians we all have a VICTORY song to sing and shout as the idea of the reality as death.

However,
we all may live a long life or to die early,
and we may choose the way we want to live our lives..
Have any purpose in life other than making money?
- Death is a reason that confront us, poor humanity to seek for life hereafter, and there is ample proofs in eternal values and reality about life which should cause anyone to reflect on and truly making the right preparations for the eternal hereafter..goto see what is the truth, the genuine and the fake
- goto see mind transformation
- When you can walk and talk with God in life you will find no problems going with God thru death and then to an eternity with God as your own heavenly Father..
- goto see XV the Apostle Paul answers to the Corinthians
- When you can walk and talk with God in life you will find no problems going with God thru death and then to an eternity with God as your own heavenly Father..
- Jesus Christ rose from the death [[2]]
with God verifying the truth he confessed when He declared: I came from my I AM |Father the Lord Sovereign, you could never accept that because your father is the Liar and he lied from the beginning... this was spoken to the crowd who rejected Him as the Messiah.
The Devil is considered by the Bible to be the Liar from the beginnning..and father of all lies
[edit] Alien here> an original article September,2009
Life:==A walking and sharing miracle==
‘’I know about myself just as I also know I am wonderfully created in the image of the holy God’’.
In that sense we all are uniquely the same yet so vastly differently in our walk and talk about what we think we really are, and just like all kind of colour of skin, creed and belief plus all the existing different multiplicities of languages we are able to speak and relate with our own peers and fellow earthlings – we all are - made in that wonderful creations from the Hand of the Almighty.
Since from known ancient times we understand mankind had a unique curiosity to want to find and know the reality of the truth about ourselves and,
- ‘‘how life came into being’’.
Perhaps let me share a unique or uncommon example:
Just this morning I wake up and start thinking about God and this article I am just writing. Is it anything unique? Not so, just as I am saying this is not exactly what I doing every morning: I don’t think to write an article every morning. Most people get up and they start to “breakfast” after a whole night of rest or sleep. The next thing we do is, to go on to do their daily chores or duties or work whatever you may call it. Not many fellow earthlings can avoid doing something or nothing: our early morning minds is full of ideas and renewed energy.
We may want to avoid the negatives, like thinking about or worrying about what we do, what we eat or what we wear all these mundane lifestyles that in our life we had cultivated as we considered already such as – part of life.
Our relationships with others and loved ones maybe different, yet somehow we may be searching to better ourselves to find happiness and fulfilments in those little moment of our given time. We are what we do everyday give us a meaningful life, yet strangely nobody I know ever want to think of death in our happy moment of being alive or during our living lifetimes!!!?. Why should we think of death with all its gloomy, ghostly fears and unfortunate incidentals that are obviously totally negative and as if ‘’alien to life’’.
Is death a common occurrence for me? No it is not, or else I won’t here to write this new article! Once I die, my own earthly existening or life here ends for me. Just as it the closing of all earthly records – good or bad – for all mankind, personally uniquely and with all finality, isn’t it?
Why death, we don’t want to think of death so early every morning and every day, we want to think of happiness and life. Yet strangely enough, thinking about death helps me know more wisely ‘’how to live’’ daily!
Thinking about death help me realise life on earth is indeed short, and made me more thankful daily. When I wake up each day I say. “Thank You – God!” Yes, thank you my Lord and God!
- “Life is like a beauty to behold every morning” Yet as all beautiful flowers will slowly fades and then withers or dies. All alive plus life itself live to die consistently, therefore thinking about life and happiness plus that fact about death is real and not that strange after all!, Yes, we must made it a point to realise that death is real as life is indeed so short, so when we wake up, just learn to say simply,
- ‘’’Thank you Lord!’’’
Today I am a walking and sharing miracle: Lord help to share some of Your goodness and blessings with others – especially those in this needy world!
Dedicated to my hard working companion for life – my dear wife who works on a daily job to keep me not working for well over thirty years!

Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
[edit] vICTORY song IN jESUS !!
( a reality in believing in Jesus to bring us thru..)
- I heard an old, old story,
- How a Savior came from glory,
- How He gave His life on Calvary
- To save a wretch like me;
- I heard about His groaning,
- Of His precious blood's atoning,
- Then I repented of my sins
- And won the victory.
- Chorus
- O victory in Jesus,
- My Savior, forever.
- He sought me and bought me
- With His redeeming blood;
- He loved me ere I knew Him
- And all my love is due Him,
- He plunged me to victory,
- Beneath the cleansing flood.
- I heard about His healing,
- Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
- How He made the lame to walk again
- And caused the blind to see;
- And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
- Come and heal my broken spirit,"
- And somehow Jesus came and bro't
- To me the victory.
- Chorus
- O victory in Jesus,
- My Savior, forever.
- He sought me and bought me
- With His redeeming blood;
- He loved me ere I knew Him
- And all my love is due Him,
- He plunged me to victory,
- Beneath the cleansing flood.
- I heard about a mansion
- He has built for me in glory.
- And I heard about the streets of gold
- Beyond the crystal sea;
- About the angels singing,
- And the old redemption story,
- And some sweet day I'll sing up there
- The song of victory.*
- Chorus
- O victory in Jesus,
- My Savior, forever.
- He sought me and bought me
- With His redeeming blood;
- He loved me ere I knew Him
- And all my love is due Him,
- He plunged me to victory,
- Beneath the cleansing flood.
( LISTEN TO MUSIC AND SING YOURSELF..)>>[[3]]
MY VERSION..
- I heard about an old, old story:
- Of a Savior who died for me (hE CAME FROM glory)
- Of Victory in Jesus..
- My Savior forever_
- He love me, Yeah - I knew Him!
- beneath the cleansing flow..
- Oh Victory In Jesus
- My Savior forever
- He love me yeah
- beneath the cleansing flow
- He knew me yeah - I knew Him
- Oh Victory in Jesus
- My Savior forever...
( It seem quite ridiculous that we Christians sings whereas the non-Christians only find or have only sorrow and often expresses in uncontrollable weepings and mourning for lost (loved) ones..St. Paul wrote: Oh death where is thy sting, thy sting is in the Laws.. Jesus did it: He overcome death for us! )

[edit] The Bible explains: by quoting from scriptures
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7.No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8.None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9.However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" 10.but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. quote from St.Paul.
goto see reality of death' * Death have no meaning so people avoid the subject totally until someone close enough dies, and then their answer is
- For the Christian believers Death is full of meanings as the death of Jesus on the Cross means we have life eternal as we follow him daily.

[edit] Remembering a day on July the 7th, 2007
[edit] A Day to remember in Prayer
Our Father in heaven
As we remember those before your presence
Grant us that we may be thankful in our hearts<
That while we on earth are still alive
May we also prepare our hearts to meet them there
Where there is no tears nor sorrows
As we have much earthly comforts
To recall those who left us so suddenly
However, in all thy wonderful creation on earth
You have not forgotten to prepare another home for us in the near eternity
Where our souls may find peace and rest in Thee,
Grant us to know how to do your will while on earth
And make us ready in heart, by the soul and spirit
When our day of departure comes
To know how to walk in your way
Of the Cross..Amen!
