A rude awakening

We got an e-mail this morning from a guy we used to be stationed with in Florida many years ago. He told us that a mutual friend recently died right here in the Springs...and we didn't even know it. She and her husband were driving thru and she ended up in the hospital with a bad infection from strep throat...and then she died. I'm just in shock, and I'm so frustrated that her husband had to go thru it by himself when we could have been with them. What a rude awakening. I don't know what they believed...whether they had personal relationships with Christ or not. I sure hope so. Just goes to show that you need to be ready...quit assuming you have plenty of time. I've already been assured of my place in Heaven....have you?
