Everybody Wanna Go To Heaven
Hometown country music singer, Kenny Chesney has a song, "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven."
Everybody wanna go to heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now
I think I speak for the crowd
Nobody want to go now
Amen to that. But you and I both know it's just a matter of time. That's the good news. And, the not-so-good news if you're not prepared. The spiritual preparation is one thing; the family and legal homework is another - and, frankly, a lot easier.
Judy MacDonald Johnson has a brilliant TED Talk about preparing for a good end of life.

Take a couple of minutes to watch it today. It's short, but the brief content could make all the difference for your family. Her website is goodendoflife.com, and contains some simple, practical resources.
Nobody want to go now. True that. But we can prepare now, and get that part out of the way, so we can enjoy the moments with less worry and the satisfaction of one big accomplishment checked off the to-do list.
