At the end of our lives, there are only three words that really matter, and no, it’s not “Go Cubs Go.” St. Paul gives us the true final confession: “Jesus is Lord.”

Unique and Irrepeatable
Did you know that there are 108 billion people that ever existed? That is a lot. If I wanted to count from zero to 108 billion, that would take me 3,429 years.
