Recently I wrote a column recounting the extraordinary positive influence of one angel from heaven – who happened to be my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Ethel Smith. Through her coaching, inspiration and influence, in 18 months I rose from being the school dummy, four years behind on all the scales of a standardized test, to being a straight-A honor student.

They are eternal; they never die. The same is true of Jesus Christ. His physical body died, but his inner self is eternal and did not die.
For most of us, our first memories begin at about the age of five. Think about your earliest memories. Arent' they happy events, maybe with siblings and parents playing a silly game or camping in the backyard?
