WHAT IS DEATH? “the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.” - Google The Grim Reaper

WHAT DID JESUS THINK ABOUT DEATH? On the eve of His death in Gethsemane, Jesus was "greatly distressed and troubled" (Mark 14:33) He said to his disciples, "My soul is very sorrowful, even unto death" (Mark 14:34). Jesus cried to God saying: "Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me; yet not what I will, but what thou wilt" (Mark 14:36). "The author of the Epistle to the Hebrews... writes that Jesus ‘with loud cries and tears offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him’ (Heb 5: 7).

WHAT DID MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR THINK ABOUT DEATH? Like anybody, I would like to live a long life–longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. And so I'm happy tonight; I'm not worried about anything; I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

LIFE OVER DEATH “Longevity has its place” Martin Luther King, Jr. Choose life over death, just follow the crystal ball…

THE CRYSTAL BALL There is nothing new under the sun You’re driving your car in unknown territory. 1.What do you do when you are lost? 2.What normally happens when you don’t seek directions or don’t follow them when given?

YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE Where is your crystal ball? Your crystal ball should 1.have been through the territory you are seeking to go. 2.have full knowledge and mastery of it. 3.be willing and committed to helping you get through it also.

YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE Stay out of jail or prison Here’s what the crystal ball tells us about young male high school drop outs 1 1.About 1 in 10 are in jail or juvenile detention on any given day. 2.For African American young males the number is closer to 1 in 4 (22.9%) 80 percent of the inmates entering Ohio prisons are high school dropouts. 2

YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE Start your career path right after high school Crystal ball career options: 1.College or University 2.Trade school/apprenticeship 3.Military service 4.Civil service Read my article entitled, “To Provide and Protect” At

YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE Love and marriage: Will I find my ideal mate (my Queen)? Crystal ball women facts: 1.The biology of women dictates that they minimize risks so that they may better protect their offspring. 2.Their chosen mates must be able to provide for and protect them. 3.Men who are most able to provide emotional support are favored over those who are less able. 4.Men with vision who act on it and who have character have the best chances of finding their Queens. 5.Only a “Man” can handle a “Womb-Man”.

YOU HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE How to keep your Queen Crystal ball women facts continued: 1.Provide and protect. Remember this is the essence of manhood (kinghood). 2.Plan, not make, time for her and your children. 3.Provide emotional support to her and your children. Lots of hugs, touches, eye balling, and kisses. 4.Assure her and your children that you are not going anywhere. You are the king, period! 5.Express yourself when she has done you wrong. 6.Never verbally or physically abuse your Queen or your children. 7.Be the example you want her to be.

CONCLUSION Life, Death, and the Crystal Ball: It’s Your Decision
