"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thess 4:13-18
What a glorious day that will be for the Christians, the day of the Lord's return. We are given a picture of what events will take place, but I am sure they are not fully able to tell the whole story of what we can expect. One minute, we will be here, going through our routine, and then Jesus will appear in the heavens with a shout. We will hear the voice of the archangel and the trump of God. The dead will rise up out of their graves, and then we will instantly rise to meet them in the clouds. From that day forward, we will always be with Jesus. This is such a comfort to know, death is not the end, and for those who are here when Jesus returns, many will not experience physical death. They will be changed instantly. Lets all keep our eyes on the prize.

The course of study How to fly 101 is implied as 100% pass rate for those in Christ. That is true Cletus. If we are following the Lord faithfully when he returns, nothing will be able to hold us down, not even the law of gravity.
