    If we are to have eternal life we must learn that we are going to live in "eye of the needle", constantly allowing Jesus to cleanse us and remove the burdens, while surrendering completely to his will.

    One thing I have learned and still am learning is this: An uplifting faith in God will take care of you no matter what you face or what a loved one faces.
