thoughts on death

Well, yesterday when I get home from church,I find out thatmy great-grandma had past away sometime in the morning. The funeral will be this saturday up in the small little town where she lived for most of her life. In a way, it is a big relief for much of the family, mostly because she was getting really bad memory loss. She didn't really recognize anyone anymore and such. The only thing that's really been onmy mind lately is, was she ready to die? I really don't know. I haven't seen her much in the past few years, and with her memory loss and all... well... I guess it's all in God's hands. I'll find out one day.

This past year I've come to understand death and what it's about much more clearly. I have no fear of dying, and I only pray that no one will be sad when I pass. I will be living the real life then. I'm not trying to be calous about it or anything, I know that missing people when they die is natural. But I don't want people to mourn.

One thing I've been thinking on lately(and I know this may sound strange to some people, but oh well) is that... well... I read stories about how in communist countries and such, they'll try and get info out of people by torturing someone they care about in front of them. My thought is this: I believe it would be easier for me to see a fellow believe tortured and killed in front of me then an unbeliever. I know where the believer is going, and also the unbeliever. It would be terrible to see someone being sent to eternal seperation from God right in front of my eyes. Do you understand?

Okay, that's enough for tonight...
