WHAT COMING CLOSE TO ETERNITY HAS TAUGHT ME I've come close to eternity. Several times. At 9, when I was injured badly enough that I have been epileptic ever since. At 15, when I had---and was miraculously cured of---lymphoma. During my marriage, when I was almost killed. At 29, when I was stabbed by a Crip. At 37, when I was in a car accident, and had to be "brought back" five times. There are other times. The times I've listed are when Death and I have bumped heads. The other times, I consider times that Death and I simply brushed shoulders. So I think about death without flinching. I have had a lot of my thinking changed by my head-bumps with Death. One thing: after I "die", and I'm standing in Heaven, I'm going to see that a lot of the things that I thought were dreadfully important---aren't. Like being right all the time. Like always proving my point, right NOW. Like making sure the house is clean before I go out and feel the sun on my face. Like watching my favorite t.v. show. Like being on time everywhere, every time. So what is important? A lot of things. But to name just a few: To stay close to my God To show His love To experience the good things God meant in the beginning for us to enjoy--- the touch of a loved-one's hand, the sun on my face, the intimacy of praise, the smell of a flower, beautiful music, the excitement of a challenge. |

The touch of a baby's twirling fingers upon my pinky.

Wow! Amen my friend! Love and Hugs Lord, keep one hand on my shoulder and one hand over my mouth!
