And when you walk this earth and you do good deeds for people and you are loving and kind, those are the things that will show on your face. You will look more beautiful. Ermias looked healthy, he looked clean. He had a glow. He was radiant, and he was so perfect that he had a sweet aroma. He even smelled good. So please do not fear death. Death is just the beginning of a wonderful world. And I tell myself, Ermias liked thrilling things, and now my son knows the secret to the mystery of life. Asé”
“When you live your life and you have God on your side – when God dwells inside of you – there is no fear. Everything is in perfect order. Everything is in the divine perfect order of our creator.”
