My Change of Address
Dear Family and Friends,
Please be advised that I have moved. I received a call the other day from
God, the Chief Architect. He informed me that my new home was completed.
You all knew that I had been working on my residence, sending up my timber,
packing up, and getting ready to go.

I knew my house needed some finishing touches and that the Chief
Carpenter, Jesus Christ, had to inspect it and give me the final approval.
So on Saturday, July 30, 2016, he let me know my home was completed, and
that it was okay to move. So he told me to go ahead and change my address.
Wow, my new home is finished and what a sight to behold. It is located in an
exclusive estate area behind a beautiful pearly gate. Of course, you know the
streets are paved in gold. Every day is Sunday just like you have been told.
Trees of twelve manners of fruit grace my garden here. I can walk and talk
with my Master without a worry or care. There is peace here along with joy
and happiness. There are no more pains, heartaches, no doctors are
necessary, nor discontentment, and only sweet serenity. I can dine at the
Masters bountiful table while listening to the heavenly choir. Best of all, my
Heavenly Father is here with me in all this Glory!
And Oh yes, I have my own designer here, who has fitted me with my own
white robe and my very own wings. I could go on and on about my new home,
but instead, Im going to pray that you will get to move here yourself one day.
Before I go let me give you my new address:
Florell Godfrey
