afterlife, life after death, Dr. Ken Ring

 

 

Introduction:  Hi, everyone. I think I should tell you a little bit about the column I’ll be writing monthly and that if you have the interest you’ll be reading – at least until your interest begins to flag.  You see, toward the end of last year, I wrote something, just as a lark, I called “Waiting to Die.” Well, I published it in a couple journals and on two websites of friends, and to my surprise, I received a lot of encouragement to write more such pieces.  So I did. I’ve now written a bunch of them, and in this column, I am going to start inflicting them on you, beginning with my maiden effort.

One advisory:  These essays are not morbid; they are meant to be humorous, at least some of the time.  And they usually end with something that I hope you will find to be of spiritual value, maybe even occasionally inspiring.  But, bottom line, which this almost is, they are meant mainly to be entertaining, and if occasionally they prove edifying, I hope you will forgive me.  

OK, you’re on your own.  Have fun and enjoy the ride.

 

Dr. Ken Ring’s series of essays “Waiting to Die” debuts here tomorrow September 5, 2018.
