Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel...
2 Timothy 1:10
I look at the skin on my hands and it is withering, like the leaves that are turning brown, curling up and falling to the ground. Death is heavy with me this Autumn. Is it delayed reaction to my father's death last winter? He took with him the last buffer between me and the next world. Is it the whisper of the Holy Spirit? He whispers, "Life is temporary, let go of attachment to it."
My natural reaction is rage. We are called to be more than that. Only in Jesus is there strength in the face of bodily death.
