<TITLE>29. Par 110-113</TITLE>L-110 I'd been a warden. In the room I had a gun. And I went in to get this gun. And I put the shells in it. And I pulled the hammer back on the gun. I said, "Lord, I--I'm... I've gone wild." I don't know. I was out of my head. I put it up beside of my head like this. I said, "Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name," squeezed the hammer, it wouldn't fall. I said, "O, Lord, I can't even take my own life."
I threw the gun down, shot it off through the house. Went on like that. I thought, "O God, why, I've gone crazy. I've lost my mind." And I...?... on at work.

L-111 I went to sleep. And when I went to sleep, I dreamed. I thought I was out west here somewhere. I always loved the west. And I had on one of these big hats like the cowboys wear. And I was going walking down through the prairies; there's an old prairie schooner laying there and a wheel broke down on it. I was singing,
 The wheel on the wagon is broken,
 Sign on the ranch, for sale.
Going along like that, I looked standing there, and there stood the most beautiful young blond-headed woman standing there that wou--hair blowing; she was dressed in white. That's the prettiest girl I ever seen. I tipped my hat; I said, "Howdy do, sister."
And then she said, "Hi, dad."
And I looked around; I said, "Dad?"
She said, "Yes."
And I just said... I said, "Well, I don't understand this." I said, "You call me your daddy."
She said, "Dad, you just don't know where you're at." Said, "This is heaven." Said, "Down on earth I was your little Sharon Rose." Said, "Don't you remember your teaching of immortality?"

L-112 I teach that there won't be little bitty babies like that in heaven. We'll all be one age and one size, immortal. You have to always be that way. We'll just be... There'll be no real old people and no real little bitty babies; we'll be just one age, the youth forever.
And she said, "Don't you remember your teaching of immortality?"
I said, "You're not Sharon?"
She said, "Yes, daddy."
I said, "Well, Sharon, honey, I don't understand."
She said, "Where's Billy Paul?" That's her little brother, the one that's here.
I said, "Well, I left him just awhile ago. But I don't understand."
She said, "Daddy, mother's waiting for you up home."
I said, "Home?" I said, "Honey, I never had a home. Branhams are vagabonds like." I said, "I never had a home."
She said, "But dad, you got a home up here." She said, "Turn, look this a way."
I looked back there and I seen the glory of God coming up. And I seen a great big pretty mansion there.
She said, "That's your home, daddy." Said, "Mother's waiting for you." She said, "You go on. Mother wants to see you. I want to wait here for Billy."

L-113 And I took right up through there. I got to the door, and there she come out to meet me as she always did, not sickly, not all drawed up and eat up with tubercular. She come out with her arms out, that black hair hanging down her back, dressed in white. And she said... Held out her arms to me and I run to her, grabbed her by the hands and knelt down.
I said, "Oh, Hope, honey." I said, "I met Sharon. Didn't our darling make a pretty woman?"
Said, "Yes, Bill." She said, "You're worrying too much, honey."
I said, "Worried? How could I keep from worrying?"
And she said... She said, "Look." Said, "You're just worrying about Sharon and I." Said, "Don't worry about us. We're so much better off than you are."
And I said, "Well, honey, everything's been going wrong, and everything..."
She said, "I know all about it." She said, "Now, stand up."
