IMHO these are merely ways to paint a "happy face" on our Last Enemy.<BR/><BR/>We SHOULD grieve, because death is grievous and comes to all. Wrapping it up in pretty ribbons is an attempt to get out of dealing with the fact that it it common to everyone.<BR/><BR/>The way to deal with the ultimate and only (if you don't count taxes) inevitability is to understand what comes on the other side of the Reaper's door. We must focus on Christ and his atonement as the only way to deal with death and find eternal life. All other "gimmicks" to handle it fall miserably short.<BR/><BR/>daveinlewisvilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
