so obviously you are not praying hard enough.
That's it! The parishoners' fault!!
Whenever death is an issue, I read this...
I like that. Think I'll copy it to my personal journal. Thank you Rob, for posting this.
Something from my years at CMA. The chaplain was never too pleased with it. But then, he was there to remind us that God was on our side. However, our military instructors would remind us of this:
"Death may come at a crawl, or come with a pounce."
"It matters not when, or why."
"It's not so much that you're dead that counts."
"But only, how did you die?"
Awesome stuff to drill into the psyches of 15 to 17 year old miscreants.
