O' DEATH

O’ DEATH

Thursday, November 10, 2016

Job [ESV] 14:14 "If a person dies, will he go on living? I will wait for my relief to come as long as my hard

       labor continues.

John 11:23-28 Jesus told Martha, "Your brother will come back to life." Martha answered Jesus, "I know that he'll come back to life on the last day, when everyone will come back to life." Jesus said to her, "I am the one who brings people back to life, and I am life itself. Those who believe in me will live even if they die. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?" Martha said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was expected to come into the world." After Martha had said this, she went back home and whispered to her sister Mary, "The teacher is here, and he is calling for you."

  One of the possible problems of living longer than others is we can feel surrounded by and depressed by death. I attend Celebration of Life or receive obits of family, friends, acquaintances, coworkers from Baltimore and Omaha. Sometimes as many as 4 or more a week.

  Most recently my younger brother Jim, James Andrew Bullock, passed away.
