  1. that's so sad

    they look so happy  


  2. That is a really cool picture. I think it's great that he went to help the people of Africa.

    Just because your father died, does not mean his work is done. He can still be preaching the faith in the afterlife (or the spirit world).

    After we die, we do not directly go to "heaven" . Our spirits go to the "spirit world". There are two parts to the spirit world. Those that have done good in this life and have received the Gospel of Jesus Christ get to go to spirit "paradise". Here they can relax from the cares of the world. Those that do not get the opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in the mortal life go to spirit "prision" where they are taught the Gospel, and can either choose to accept it or reject it.

    The spirit world is here on earth, we just can't see it.  

  3. Divine punishment for molesting a native.

  4. Well, he certainly stands out :p

    Seriously though, he looks pretty happy and so do the kids. Guess he was one of the lucky folks who found and pursued his true calling in life.

  5. I am soooo sorry bout that but I think he is great

  6. "Nobody has a greater love than that one that gives his life for his friends". This was said by Jesus, regarding His own sacrifice, yet it says a universal truth, for it is valid, even for parents who sacrifice their lives working for the benefit of their children as well.

    The work you father did goes with him. He is in a much better situation now. You are sorrow, he is happy, for for God all are alive, God being a God of the living, not of the dead. Cheer up. Mourn no more.h

  7. He appears to be a very compassionate man.  

    The children seem to love having him around!  

    You must miss him very much!

    When I loose someone in death, I re-read this brochure:

    When Someone You Love Dies... :

    - "It Can't Be True!"

    - Is It Normal to Feel This Way?

    - How Can I Live With My Grief?

    - A Sure Hope for the Dead

    - Some Practical Suggestions

    - Texts That Comfort

    http://jw.org/index.xjp?option=QrYQZRQVN...

    And sometimes I reread or listen to it later on, too...


  8. He seems to be a very affectionate man. I am sorry for the loss and thank you for sharing the picture.

    By the way, ignore trolls with rude attitude.

  9. He looks happy

  10. Nice picture. I am so sorry for your loss. I have nothing but respect for your father and for his lifes work. I am sure he was welcomed Home with those dear words we all hope to hear. "Well done My good and faithful servant..."

  11. Not a paste n picture?

          ............GOD so loved the world  ..............

  12. did he have a heart condition?

  13. Im sure he is very happy. Follow and teach like he did. Teach love and forgiveness. Look at the faces of happiness in his picture. Have no worry, this evil will soon be brought to an end. As tears run down my face this very moment, I swear to God this pain and sadness will end.

  14. Sorry to hear your loss, but I am not sure there is a question here. I think what your Dad did was heroic. Giving his life to server others is definitely Christ like. You know you will see your Dad again after this life.
