Introduction

1. I want to share with you two dates that are extremely important to me. One is December 22, 1952. The reason that date is so very important to me is that is the date of my birth (for those who might be interested in getting me a present you might want to jot that date down.

5. I know that I am speaking on one of the three most unpopular topics that people want to hear about. They are death, money, and hell. The truth is you really can't get away from death. Have you noticed how much of our news centers around death and dying? It is estimated that about 75% of what we see on t ...
