And they lived happily ever after.

we never stop living.

we just move from one realm to another.

a great woman died last week. i struggled with her death, and how to feel about it. she was one of the most radiant, amazing people i had ever met. i kept praying "God, i know i don't know her very well, but please... just let her be in Heaven."

today, some of my coworkers made it to her funeral. my one coworker gave a summary of the event, since i was working. she told me she was a Christian. it hit me really hard. i got very emotional with relief and excitement for her. i look forward to seeing her again.

it's odd how people seem to laugh at religious/spiritual beliefs, except for where death is concerned. i have seen people seized by fear and solemnity by the mere thought of it. sometimes i take for granted the peace of mind that comes with knowing.....

God has provided a way, where there seemed to be no way. Christianity is not a belief system. It is the greatest love story that ever was....

And one that ALWAYS has a happy ending.

Colors you can't even dream.

I keep seeing death all around me. So many people are dying.

My first reaction is to feel how sad it is to lose a loved one.

My second reaction is to pray for everyone I know who still has breath in their lungs.

But my third reaction...

My spirit is just so restless, so homesick for Heaven. It feels like a deep groan.
