Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have

told you. I go to prepare aplace for you. And if I go and prepare a place

for you,I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where

I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
