Jesus said, “Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying” (John 11:25, NLT). He promised, “I am going to prepare a place for you in my Father’s house. When your place is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me” (John 14:2-3, paraphrased from NLT). On Thursday, May 5th, 2022, Jesus came to take Douglas home.
