Do We Fear Death?

  • "For in the sleep of death what dreams may come..."  And, when we finally approach shuffling off this mortal coil, must it give us pause?  Do we go quietly into that good night, or rage against it? Do we move toward the light, or not?  Must it give us pause?  A recent conversation placed this topic in my mind, and I couldn't shake it.  Again, God presented me a topic for a post, in typical fashion, for truly mysterious are His ways.

     

    Let not your heart be troubled, this post does continue.  To read the rest of this humble offering, please follow the attached link: Do We Fear Death?
