death

is the most wonderful thing that could happen to Christian - long for
at times - I thought.
Yet, my emotion gets so twisted whenever I heard of the most joyful
death that brings also the most devastating pain. I cannot imagine
missing someone so dearly.

last year's trial really produced love in me for people, even people
who persecute me. I feel like I can relate more with how others are
feeling especially with brothers & sisters in Christ. I don't
understand why it hurts me when it hurts others in the family. I guess
the only thing I can come up with is that One Spirit who lives in you
and me.

death is a delima in this world and gives hope.
