T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

The Sea Inside

Death...

I watched the Spanish film ' The Sea Inside.' The film tells the true life account of one guy who wanted to end his life in dignity by pushing for euthanasia. In one of the last scenes, before he was going to die, this lady who loved him and was going to help him die asked him to give him a sign after he died, he responded that it seemed to him that, after he died, he would become... "nothing."

The words echoed deeply.... echoing Jordan's words... of that scary thought of dying and becoming nothing.... but most importantly, this word reaffirmed the promise and assurance that God has for us... that we will not become nothing, we shall "not perish but have eternal life".... the beautiful vision of being at his side... and wow... in Jordan's words.... that is our Hope.

It is a priviledge to be alive
It is a precious gift.
