It is a true story about my near death experience.

Wash Away Your Sins Products
There are products on the market that claim to "Wash away your sins". Some of the labels include: "Kills sins on contact", "Right your wrongs with a wipe"; "Spot check for stubborn", "Discard sins in waste receptacle" and "Go forth purified". I state: "If you try washing your sins away with worldly means, you will only get irritations because your sins are skin deep."

Fooled by Bagworms
Many things in our society may fool us. They may look so innocence, natural, and inviting but inside they are nothing but worms, waiting to destroy our relationships, our happiness, our hope, and our lives. "If you bite into a good looking apple and find half a worm, you should start to worry."

Will Your Name be in the Book?
As Tax Collector of Mount Wolf Borough, I am responsible to collect a $20 per capita tax from everyone over the age of 18 that lives in my district. But there is a book of names which is more important than any taxroll. It is God's Book of Life."You should be on a roll, in more ways than one."

Two Forgotten Signers' Died with One Buried Twice
There were fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Two of them died in my home town of York, PA. Read about these men and their lack of honor after their death. "You may be buried only once, but you could die twice."

Forever Stamp
The Forever Stamp is really a miss leading named. After it is cancelled, it cannot be used again. It is thrown in the trash and perished in the continuous fire of an incinerator. The word "Forever" on the stamp can be a great evangelist tool. "Jesus already paid the price for this male to go air mail. I proudly wear His Forever Stamp. So can you."
