Interesting site … will be back! Just one thought about the death and dying conversation … we humans all make too much of it because of our finite nature. The worry about who goes to heaven and who doesn’t and what happens after you die isn’t really the issue; faith is the issue. When you believe in something eternal and know that you will be in heaven because you know God is real, it changes your perspective on the finite. This world looks completely different to me because of faith in Christ, who is eternal, from the beginning of time. I have hope. This is the message that can make a difference in someone’s life, in how they choose to live, in ultimately it not being about me aftter all, but about others. We could argue this point of view too … but in the end, we have to give up the argument and just trust, in this moment. Eternal faith is the one thing that has allowed me the freedom to do that. Even then it’s a struggle, for faith must be continuously renewed. But it is all there is in the end. It is what allows us to love unconditionally and forgive others. CT
