“In the midst of life, we are in death.”
“Teach me to live, that I may dread the grave as little as my bed.”

He is gone
I got an email 
As I lay in bed
My uncle
Passed away
Peacefully
Last night
He has become dated
July 7, 2013

Another death
Another heartache
Another longing
For eternity

He refused to eat
Being force fed
Through tubes
Long hospital stay
Loss of hope
Loss of dreams
Loss of desire
To live…

My father’s younger brother...
The handsome one
Movie star smile
The funny one
The loving one
Gone…
He fell asleep
And we are left to weep

How do people live
Without hope?
When they face the death of a loved one
How do they cope?
When the heart is crushed
When there is only night
How do they stumble on
Without…without the LIGHT?
How?

I don’t understand….
I can’t fathom
How you choose to believe
That this miserable miserable life
Full of heartache
Illness
Disease
War
Abuse
Rape
EXCRUCIATING PAIN…
THIS LIFE….
How can you believe
That this life is ALL there is?
How can you grieve?
How do you believe?
There this is all there is?
I don’t understand…

No….I choose to believe
That there is life
There IS life
Eternal life
There is a better place
A place of “no more night”
No more pain
No more tears
No more illness
No more abuse
No more rejection
A place
Where I will see the ones 
Who have gone before
I chose to believe
In the efficacy of His death
The ONE and ONLY
The most beautiful ONE: J E S U S
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4: 12)

Ah…when my heart is torn
My mind believes
When my eyes weep
My lips smile…
A BETTER DAY IS COMING!
How can you take the news
Of the death of a loved one
And not hope?
How can you go on?
I choose to believe
It’s a choice
Believe!!!
What have you got to lose?
I know what you have to gain….
EVERYTHING!

Dearest Uncle...
Sleep well
You have deserved your rest
I bid you farewell
Knowing...
Believing...
Death is NOT the end
I will see the light of day
I will live to see you in that land
That land of “No more night”

I Corinthians 15: 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
