Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the lord, the righteousness, which the lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day — and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”                                                  (II Timothy 4:7-8)

     "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
