The famous torch singer Peggy Lee is known for her signature song “Is That All There Is? In it she lamentably recalls numerous highs of her life that at the time were wonderful, only to be followed by the crashing aftermath of disappointment. As the song title implies, once the “happy” time of the 'happening' ends, what is anyone really left with?
The short answer is that while we all can enjoy many truly great things in life, be it an exciting adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime trip, or the high of receiving a great award or honor, once it is over, it is over, and as Ms. Lee reminisces, so is your life…and then what?
Here is the answer plain and simple.
While we are all given a short time on the earth, that is not all there is because God has a plan that ensures that there is much more than what we experience in our earthly life, and it is FAR BETTER than anything we can possibly imagine. The Bible promises us this when it says:
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and
No mind has imagined what
God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
As today’s scripture illustrates, once the benefit experienced in this life is over, what ultimately is the ending benefit, and the answer is earthly life ends, and then again as Ms. Lee wistfully asks, Then What?
Well the Good News is that God has a plan to put the What into the THEN and it is sure to satisfy for all eternity! And that is the eternal life that God has set aside for all those that seek Him in Heaven.
Friend, there is ultimately no lasting satisfaction to be found here on earth, but you can and will have eternal peace in heaven, but you must first must make Peace With God. Deep down, you know what to do! Ask God to forgive you of all the wrongs you have done in your life, pledge your allegiance to Him and as Jesus said, “Follow ME” and when you do, you’ll will see that HE IS ALL THERE IS!
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
A fever all through the night
Sun lights up the day time
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the mornin'
A fever all through the night
Everybody's got the fever
That is somethin' you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long time ago
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said, "Julie baby you're my flame"
Thou giveth fever, when we kisseth
Fever with thy flaming youth
Fever I'm on fire
Fever yea I burn forsooth
Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said "daddy oh don't you dare"
"He givess me fever with his kisses"
"Fever when he holds me tight"
"Fever, I'm his misses"
"Daddy won't you treat him right?"
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

A Flurry of Reissues from the Inimitable Jonathan Richman
Jonathan Richman is an artist you’ll likely love or hate. His idiosyncratic, nasal vocals will either charm or annoy, as will his melodies and lyrics, which sometimes hint at his background as a new-wave act and Velvet Underground fan but often seem more suited to Sesame Street and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
That said, yours truly is a…
