ARE YOU PREPARED?

One day, a king died. His servants spread the unbelievable news all over the palace. He had died in his bed of natural causes.

"Where has he gone?" asked one of the king's wisest counselors

"Why, to Heaven of course!" answered all the others.

"No", said the other gravely, "I served this king for many years and traveled with him to many places. He loved to travel and would go over the details of each journey. Every element was planned and anticipated. But I have never heard him say a word about traveling to Heaven. It is a journey for which I saw him make no preparation. I am quite sure he did not go to Heaven."
