I don't know where this quote originated. I got it from my friend, Dr. Dwarka Ramphal and thought it was worth sharing.
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary; for those who do not believe, no proof is sufficient."
How true!

Happy Reunion
This past weekend I had the opportunity to renew some old friendships and catch up a little bit with what was happening in the lives of some people I had not seen in many years. The occasion was my high school 30th year reunion.
As I watched old friends embrace, smile & laugh, I couldn't help but think of the reunion that is to come one day for all the children of God. We can only imagine what it will be like as we greet loved ones who have gone on so many years before. We'll see people we read about in the Bible and heard about in history lessons; folks that shaped the world in which we now live. Best of all we'll get to see Jesus face to face.
What really sets our heavenly reunion apart from earthly ones, is that we will never have to leave. While it was fun to see old friends at my reunion over the weekend, it was not much fun to say goodbye, wondering if and when we would see each other again. That is an emotion that will be absent in heaven.
Our reunion was only for members of our graduating class. The reunion in heaven is only for the children of God. That means only those who have accepted Jesus Christ as personal savior will attend. It will be like nothing we have ever experienced, and I am so looking forward to it. So, if I never see you on this earth again, I hope to see you there.
