Yeah, even our pets...
When we had our little dog, we'd always put her outside with us when we went
to the hot tub. After we put her down a couple years ago, for a few months
after, either one of us would hear her bark when we were in the hot tub. It
was as clear as day, even though she wasn't there.

Hi Mark,
I aggree with Lucy wholeheartedly. You are indeed sane and a Christian.
I have not read the book “90 Minutes In Heaven” yet but that will be on my
list of books to read this year.
We have certainly lost quite a few of our classmates in the last several
years but isn’t it a comfort knowing that they are in God’s arms and no
longer stricken with the illnesses that took them away from us in the first
place?
I’ve had visits from my Dad and my eldest brother and some of my pets have
come back to pay me a visit. I kid you not. I’ve been visited by one of my
cats and one of my Leader dogs.
I think they are given the chance to come back to us to let us know that
they are okay and that Heaven is beautiful and though they are there and we
are still here, we will all be together again when we too are called home.
Peggy and Ginger.

Lucy, I read 90 minutes read by Don Piper himself. It is truly amazing what
he went through just in recovering from his injuries. Personally I wonder
if would have rather died than to go through all that he did.

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

I don't remember dreams very often, but I did have a vivid one with Mike
Trimble probably within a month or two after he passed. Years later I
visited with Mr. Chard in a dream. Now I am going to attempt to tell a
story which is difficult to explain because I can't quite adequately explain
it to myself. I think this happened in the spring of 1999 although I'm not
really sure of the time of year. It was definitely on a Friday though. I
was in my den channel surfing between 11 and noon. I felt this sudden
impact on my left side. It was as though someone were running fast and just
went right through me. There was positively no pain or discomfort
whatsoever. It just seemed like someone had bumped into me or even passed
through me. I was not frightened in any way, I remember saying something
like hello out loud. There was no response. I continued to channel surf
and contemplate what had just happened. Finally a bit after noon I went to
the living room to try to explain to Betsy this experience. Ultimately I
told her that I would not be surprised if we found out about a death soon.
Later that afternoon, I think it was around 3:30 or 4, I got a phone call
that Albert Shutt, a wonderful Christian man I had known and greatly
respected for the past 20 years had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly
that morning around 7 I think it was. If you think I'm crazy, that's fine
with me. If you think I'm not a Christian because of this, that's ok too
because you are entitled to your own opinion. I would be careful however
when it comes to being to dogmatic on either side of this. I do know there
is life after death because of the assurance given in God's Word for those
who trust Christ as Saviour. I also know what happened to me is real and I
can assure you that I was not sleeping or dreaming. I can't prove what I am
about to say, but I do think those that have gone on before us may be aware
of what happens to the rest of us still here if they choose to. I think
they are aware before we are of the time when each one of us will join them
in eternity. I don't know of anyone who has come back to tell us for sure
what happens after we cross over. This is always an interesting topic and
we should not be too closed minded about what others have to say. The one
thing the Bible is clear on is that there are two destinations in eternity,
heaven and hell. I sure hope there is no one on this list who will end up
in Hell. You can get a glimpse of that place in Luke chapter 16, concerning
the rich man who would not even give the poor man Lazarus the crunbs from
his table. This is not a place you should desire to be.
