True brokend...it will illicit different emotions in people.
One thing I am learning about Christianity is that it is one of the few religions
that embraces death. We long for our day of appointment because it is our
chance to go behind 'the curtain' and enter eternity. His parents could have
been sad by his untimely death, but they were happy to know that they
would see him again. I used to be scared of getting old or dying in a car
wreck or something....but now dying only gets me to my destination and
that leaves me little to fear. Think about living life...with not one thought
for dying one day. Not ever getting depressed about getting old? It's
amazing power over death you can have.
Don't think I'm preaching...I'm just spilling out my beliefs and how they can
change a life.
peace and love
