A query

I'm going to ask you to entertain a notion for a second.

What do you think about death?

Are you scared of it? Does it worry you? What?

For a long time, and even still, my point of view has been "Why on Earth, being a Christian, would you NOT want to die?". And I can confidently say that I still feel this way. If we're following him, there's a reward for us that's a million trillion times better than anything we could ever hope to have here on Earth.

But let's not misunderstand each other.

For those who don't know, I have chronic on-and-off depression. I have struggled with this for quite some time now. And the above opinion can often be confused, even within me. I have to draw the line between "Accepting Death" and "Wanting Death". It's a very, VERY fine line and as Christians, we have to make sure we stay on the accepting half of it.

That's all I have to say for now.
