my friend frankie died.

he is with Jesus now which is good. but i will miss him. his body was barely a shell, but his spirit was feisty and lovely until the end. he did not get his electric blue wig like cydney on alias. that’s my only earthly disappointment for him. he has exchanged his frail body for a new one. his eyes can see with no interference of infection; his legs work with no obstruction from tumors. he body is free no longer wracked with pain.

i am distracted by heaven today. i have been more conscience of the blessing of god on my life lately. with that i mind, i would exchange the richness of here for the relieve of the to come.

no more watching people die. no more watching people betray. no more oppression. no more desertion or duplicity. no more waging the war within me. no more emotional limping through life.

shalom. wholeness. being with Jesus will be so great. see you soon frankie. i love you!

" 50 i declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 listen, i tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 for the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

54 when the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "death has been swallowed up in victory."[7] 55"where, o death, is your victory? where, O death, is your sting?"[8] 56 the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 but thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ 1 cor. 15.50-57
