Memorial

Memorial for mom will be September 21st. I want to be there, and will go, but part of me does not want to deal with the people that will be there.

I know people will say she is in a better place and that is not true. She did not believe that so I see no reason to think she is. She believed when she died that was it, done, end of story, there is no more. So why would she think she was in a better place.

So my view as a Christian is that there is a Heaven and a Hell and the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. Mom was not a believer in Jesus Christ so that leaves hell for her. It is not that she wanted to believe and something stood in her way, it was that she out and out rejected Christ and declared herself an Atheist. The word of God is clear, those who do not accept and follow Christ will not be in heaven with him. If they are not in heaven then the bible is clear they will be in hell.

It is not a fun thought and not something I through around but it is a fact of my faith. Mom had the chance and chose not to accept. If I believe I did all I could to explain to her Christ, and I did, then what more can I do. I must accept the fact she chose to reject Christ, I don't have to like it but that is what she chose and ultimately it is a personnel choice.

So those of us alive have a choice, accept or reject this one called Jesus the Christ. What will you do?
