			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My girlfriend and colleague was having dinner with a friend last night, she passed out and never regained consciousness&#8230; she died&#8230; that&#8217;s it! She&#8217;s gone&#8230; she&#8217;ll never come to my home again for tea&#8230; she won&#8217;t be waiting for me Monday morning to go get our coffee together&#8230; a morning ritual we had observed for over a year&#8230; since I came to this office&#8230; I loved her&#8230; I&#8217;ll miss her&#8230;</p>
<p>Her whole life wasn&#8217;t very long&#8230; she served in the Navy and was currently working on her computer science degree&#8230; she was very smart, a very hard worker, she loved her job, her family, and her friends&#8230; she loved to fish and to cook&#8230; she was in her early 30&#8217;s&#8230; her life so short.</p>
<p>Scripture says, &#8220;And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.&#8221; Hebrews 9:27.</p>
<p>Elaine has met God now&#8230; and if she could reach back, what would she say?</p>
<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s real.. God IS real&#8230; the judgement is REAL!&#8230;. don&#8217;t delay&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>We don&#8217;t know how short life is&#8230;. we don&#8217;t know when we will see God&#8230; She and I talked often of God&#8217;s love for her and she knew the truth.</p>
<p>As for those of us who remain&#8230; Will our debt towards God be marked &#8220;paid&#8221; through Jesus&#8217; death on the cross or will we be judged to be &#8220;in debt&#8221;?</p>
<p>The question really isn&#8217;t, &#8220;What will you do with Jesus?&#8221; rather&#8230; it is&#8230; &#8220;What <span style="text-decoration: underline;">have</span> you done with Him?&#8221;&#8230; at least that will be the question when we each as individuals face God.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to Elaine&#8217;s family&#8230; who are heart broken over the loss of their daughter, sister, aunt, and her friends all of whom really love her.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll miss you Elaine&#8230; Goodbye Dear Friend&#8230; I won&#8217;t forget you!&#8230; I&#8217;ll look for you on my appointed day&#8230;..</p>
