&quot;If a man can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl he simply isn&#039;t giving the kiss the attention it deserves.&quot;<br /> ~Albert Einstein


When I complete this life,

To join my Savior in the next,

Do not place rings in my ears,

Or paint my nails 

With bright, shiny polish.

Do not cover my face

In paints and powders,

Or adorn my neck and wrists

With man made garbage. 

Send me to my king as I am.

Send me as I was made.

For I do not need what I was not given,

Nor do I want what I do not need.

Do not clothe me in expensive dress

That will serve me no purpose in the kingdom of God.

Send me as I was sent.

Naked. 

So the lord may receive me for what I am.
