Phil i. 29. One of the witnesses for truth, when imprisoned for conscience sake in Queen Mary’s persecution of the Church is said to have thus written to a friend—’A prisoner for Christ! What is this for a poor worm? Such honour have not all his saints. Both the degres which I took in the University have not set me so high, as the honour of becoming a prisoner of the Lord.’ Philpot, again, could say of his prison–’In the judgement of the world we are in hell; but I find in it the sweet consolations of heaven.’ So holy Bradford–’My prison is sweeter to me than any parlour, then any pleasusre I have had in all my life.”
–cited from Charles Bridges Exposition of Psalm 119

Death is Not Dying
Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer.
But for Rachel the essence of life was found in her relationship with God through Jesus. And that's why Rachel was convinced that death is not dying.
