Psalm 90:10a (NLT) states, "Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty." Unfortunately, that will not be everyone's testimony, as some people leave this earth at very young ages. Death doesn't discriminate between ethnic groups, age groups, or social-eco- nomic groups. It takes whoever it chooses and whenever it pleases. James 4:14 (CEV) says, "What do you know about tomorrow? How can you be so sure about your life? It is nothing more than mist that appears for only a little while before it disappears." Get Them Ready As parents or grandpar- ents, our job is to teach chil- dren about who God is, what it means to have a relationship with Christ, and the importance of obedience to the scriptures. Deuteronomy 6:7 (NLT) says, "Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up". It is impera- tive to let our youth know that they are not too young to have a surrendered life to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 12:1 (NLT) says, "Don't let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, "Life is not pleasant anymore." Also, they need to learn the value of having an "others-centered" life of service and humility, as well as using their natural talents to glorify the Lord. I Stepped In Recently, I read a book about a 17-year-old girl named An- gela who died a few years ago in a plane crash on her way to do ministry. She had spent her life teaching children about God and lead ing people to Christ. Her father was distraught, as he dreaded to even look at the body. At that moment, someone called him in tears and told him that the previous night, in a dream Angela came to him and said, "Let my daddy know it didn't hurt. I simply just stepped into Heaven." A few weeks later one of the passen- gers who survived the accident described the last few minutes before the crash. He stated, "An- gela was praying in the Spirit vio- lently; then she just drooped over with her bible on her lap and was silent before the crash." Wow! This teenager demon- strated that she knew how to pray and connect with God. In the last seconds of her life, she was full of the Spirit and displayed a deep passion for her Savior. She was prepared for eternity - how about you? PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord, I don't know the day or the hour when I will leave this place; I re- alize that my age doesn't matter, so I want to be ready. Please for- give me for all unrighteousness. I ask you to be my Lord and Sav- ior forever. Help me to live for you and to please you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."

During the most strin- gent phase of COVID-19 restrictions, spouses and family members were denied compassionate care visits, and many died alone. The No Patient Left Alone Act creates man- datory visitation rights for patients, including in nursing homes and hospice care facilities, and requires those fa- cilities to follow federal Facilities found violating visitation rights would be subject to a $500 fine per day for each inci- dent. Sen. Steve Jarvis (R-Davidson) said, "No patient in NC should be forced to remain alone & separated from family while undergoing major medical treatment & no patient should die alone, nor should their surviv- ing family members be forced to live with the knowledge that they did so. I am thankful for the passage of this bill and ensuring our state's most vulnerable are pro- tected." The bill passed the Senate with a bipartisan vote of 49-0. It now goes to Gov. Roy Cooper for signature. Senate passes Bill to create patient visitation rights By Loretta Cozart Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Broad River Ge- nealogy Society missed their 40th anniversary.
