I enjoyed reading the responses to your Questionku, it seems you asked the right question.

I would say so. I believe there is a reason we stay or go. And when we pray together, we are joined together in those prayers. My cousin was allowed a short season to stay even though all signs pointed to death. Then when she left she still spoke (in ways) to me, giving me peace. Some leave immediately. One day perhaps the story of all mankind will be mapped out and we will understand. Congratulations, dear poet! <3 Kim

Fine questionku and good question, Andrea. To paraphrase one writer, we live a free life wherein everything is destined)

Definitely an interesting concept to ponder. Everyone has their appointed time, but prayer is for our comfort, connecting us close to God regardless of the outcome, and God's will is best, though sometimes we don't realize it in the midst of death and suffering.

Yes, we have once to die but I believe that we can approach the Throne Of Grace and God will stay our time to another day. He knows all about it before hand and He knows that your life will be extended. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

God gave us free will, and that may change certain judgmental aspects of our relationship with God. But our destined end time here on earth is his will. Whatta Ya' think of that? :) lol

To be or to become... death is the question.
