About this ebook
Remember, dear reader, Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess to God that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Today hear His voice (Rom. 14:11; Heb. 3:7). Finally Home. Song by Don Wyrtzen.

Imagine, almost eighty-six (born October 1928, Pauline Elizabeth Wilson) and happily experiencing peace and joy about my decease, whether it is by the rapture or whatever the Lord has for me. At seventy-five, a fall off my bicycle nearly finished me up. Since that didn’t work, this last year should have: a cancer operation and broken hip surgery. Thank the Lord I don’t worry about where I’m going. That was settled fifty-nine years ago when I realized I was a sinner and that the Lord Jesus Christ was made sin for me that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. O happy day. My sport days, tennis, swimming, golf, were over in my late sixties. During my teen years, my father, older brother, and I played lots of tennis, usually on our lighted tennis court behind the house, playing often after midnight with neighbors and friends. Having graduated at Morehead High School in 1945, my days at Elon College (now a university) in Burlington, North Carolina, were cut short after my freshman year by getting married to Joe W. Chandler Jr. at eighteen, in 1947. Then, my husband was accepted at the new school of pharmacy in Laramie, Wyoming. Two months after our marriage, we took off. We had a ball for three years although near poverty (Joe had three jobs; I was secretary to Dr. David O’ Day, head of the pharmacy school) and loving it all. Joe graduated in 1950, and we were elated to be back home with our several-month-old son, Joe W. Chandler III, even then a real cowboy. We happily settled in our hometown (now Eden, North Carolina). My most important happening in my entire life was when I was saved on July 3, 1955. I was a new creation in Christ Jesus; old things passed away, all things became new, and I dearly love the Lord Jesus that He so loved the world (John 3:16). The Lord miraculously added two girls, Beth and Lisa, to our family tree when our son was fifteen. Joey graduated at the University of South Carolina on a football scholarship, a certified public accountant. His sisters, Beth and Lisa, one married after two years at Jerry Falwell’s Christian College, and the other graduated in nursing at Bob Jones University. Being without my husband these last four years has been very sad and hard, at the same time, rejoicing. The Lord is certainly a wonderful help in time of need; however, Joe and I were married sixty-three years. The Lord has helped me tremendously, directing my writings and keeping me busy. We now have grand, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The ones of us who are saved serve a wonderful risen Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Because He lives, we live also. See you in heaven.
