I Hate the Word "Death"

So tonight I watched "Dead Man Walking". It's a movie about a man on death row and the nun who gave him a chance. Without telling you how it ends, I can't help but write about it. With Mila passing away, I start to see just how short life is. I will live forever! What a bold statement to make, huh? Only I'm not the bold One, Jesus Christ is the only one who deserves the glory. Back to the movie, Sister is trying to save this man. She's telling him over and over that he must reconcile himself to receive eternal life. I sat there thinking, if she's having a hard time with someone on death row, I can't possibly expect to have it any easier. Please pray for more time to reach the dying. My idea here is that I don't deserve eternal life, neither does anyone else... but if I'm gonna get it, I need to tell everyone I meet about the hope that is in Jesus Christ. You don't understand though. I never knew how hard it was to be a Christian, but the "perks" are amazing... like grace. I'll pray for you to seek knowledge from Him. He's the only one who gives the good stuff. I love you so very much, whether you know it or not.
