" For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.       II Timothy 4:6-8
