There’s something comforting about clouds overhead: a sense of protection, closeness, beauty you can smell, taste and feel. It makes you wanna magically jump up there and play until you fall asleep, bubble-wrapped in bliss. That’s been the SLO cloud scene lately.

I recall life insurance (death assurance) brokers trying to sell me whole life or term policies, in my younger years, with promises of these same good feelings. You’re buying protection, term policies, or protection plus investment, whole life policies. I’ve bought both over time, but now go bare knowing a new beginning is in sight.

Things on this earth are pretty and temporary. The landscape in SLO is rapidly changing as it my profile and skinscape. But, there is a better insurance/assurance. I don’t have to tell you what it is. You know it. I don’t have to sell it to you. It free. You just have to pick it up. Testimonials are dime a dozen, but I will tell you I’ve found this one affordable, worry-free with no expiration date. The terms are simple and clear with no fine lines at the bottom. It’s not like my previous death insurance policies, but is actually a real, genuine, full-on deal . . . I think; no, no, I know. At least that’s what Jesus promised in the flesh. Job also looked for it. I’ll go with them.

“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” Jonn 11:25-26

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. Job 19:25
