"And the time has come for my departure. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race,  I have kept the faith." Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will reward to me on that day - and not for only me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing." II Timothy 4:6 & 7 NIV
