"Is it too late?
Is it too far?
For Him to reach you
And come to where you are
"Step out on the edge
Don't be afraid of it
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane"
Mark 6 - And he went out from thence,
47And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
[Natalie Grant - Hurricane (The Making of the Lyric Video)]

"Uh uh" says Charon, "God still has work for you. Your time is not yet due."
It will be soon enough when he hears:
21 ... ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Matthew 25:21New King James Version (NKJV)
Hi Gerard. Thank you!

The Koran is worse than rat poison in comparison.

They also have Hope, Love, Life - not existence.
Happy Re-birthday, Gerard. May you have many, many more.
