It's amazing how the Bible just opened. Philippians 4...I mean of all passages. You could not find a better passage. No, you couldn't. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God and the peace of God will guard your heart and mind. And then it goes on. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And that was so powerful and completely shifted. And I also learned because of the experience I had had the day before, that when you pass on because I was...they told me I was pretty much near death, and it would have been fine. I was so...when you pass on in the Lord there is nothing to fear and when you do not fear death, you don't fear life. You know, it's just, it's the maximum that it is transformative.
