The Queen and everlasting life

Once again it has been quite some time since I last posted. Sorry for that my dear readers. My life has progressed as always. Annoying people on the internet continue, but as compared to 2004, I can control that through tools hat the internet has developed. I learned to realize the difference between discussion and debate. (Debate is argument where one tries to best the other so that there is one clear "winner" in talks. Discussion involves listening and consideration of th eother to get a t deeper meaning and a heart of some meatter. There may never be a right and a wrong side in discussion.) Many troll the internet are looking to debate, not discuss. I am much better at avoiding those settings where trolls seeking debate aare involved, now.


I earned my Master of Theological Studies degree in 2015 and am now working on my doctorate. In terms of life according to the Queen, my dear daddy died in 2017, 13 months ago exactly. (My dad lived long enough to attend my MTS graduation ceremony.) His funeral was held at Queen of Heaven Church and it was beautiful. He was my rock who taught me about faith along with my mom who I have written about here. He prayed the Rosary seeking the intercession of the Queen of Heaven as often as he could, especially in his later years. He was holding a new Rosary I had gotten him earlier in the day (because his other had fallen apart from so much use) on the day he died. Now he and my mom, the other Queen in my life, are together in life everlasting and I miss them both. I have faith though, that one day, I will see them again.


I hope you are able to hang on to that same faith in your own lives dear readers. Death ends, but life does not. Life goes on forever.


For I know that my Redeemer lives, 
and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth
And I shall be clothed again with my skin, 
and in my flesh I shall see my God.
I will see for myself, 
my own eyes, not another’s, will behold him.

Job 19:25-27a
