Peggy would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call! A sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus. A reunion with her family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, playing the piano and singing to her heart’s content. Music, laughter, and love are guaranteed.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I will go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
John 14: 1-3
