For a week, I was glued to news updates on the status and stories of three ill-fated passenger airlines. My heart went out to the passengers who were killed and their grieving family members.

Death isn’t easy. Not for the one dying, nor for those standing by the bedside. Those who are dying are spiritual beings wrestling

A few days ago, I spied my old friend Bob vigorously pedaling a bike at our neighborhood gym and staring down at a blood pressure monitor on his finger.“What are you doing?” I asked.“Looking to see if I’m alive,” he grunted.“What would you do if you saw you were dead?” I countered.“Shout hallelujah!” he replied with a radiant smile.Over the years I’ve caught glimpses of great i

Unfortunately he had no family and when the medical staff told Rev. Bob Mason that they feared no one would show up for the funeral, Mason sent the following note to the Royal Marines Association:

ODJ: laying claim

My mother has developed a habit of occasionally asking us what items we would want once she leaves this earthly existence.
