Ecclesiastes 3:21

Who is certain that the spirit of the sons of men goes up to heaven, or that the spirit of the beasts goes down to the earth?

And the dust goes back to the earth as it was, and the spirit goes back to God who gave it.

And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.

For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven.

We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:
