Hey Mark, for what it's worth, I think you are totally sane, and definitely a
Christian! I amcertain that those who have gone before us are aware of us here
on earth, and watch out for us! I have had many experiences regarding people
that I have lost, too numerous to go into here. There is a book I read a few
years ago called 90 minutes in heaven, and it is by a pastor, Don piper. I
can't rememberwhich church he belongs to, but he had a death experience and
then came back. He swears that he was in heaven, and didn't tell anyone about
it for quite some time after it happened, because he thought they would think
he was crazy. It is very interesting to read, and is pretty enlightening. I
would recommend it to any of you. Lucy Edmonds, class of 73
