This week Michael Jackson died suddenly at age 50. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and the sudden deaths TV pitchman Billy Mays were also in the news. That is a lot of death. Today in Bible study we read about how the Lord will come like a thief in the night which basically means that not only the Lord will come when we don't know it, it also means that we don't know when we will die. It simply makes me realize how short life is and how suddenly it can be taken away. I guess that is what scares me, that one day I will die and I have no control over when that day is. I don't know how I will die or when for that matter. That scares me, I think what scares me more is that I will get to heaven and God will say he does not know me. What I want to hear is well done good and faithful servant, you are my child in whom I am well pleased, and that I was adopted into his family. I want to see Nana, Granddad, Grandma, Grandpa, Jesus and everyone I love. Standing there ready to give me a hug when I get to heaven.
Also today I realize that this July 4, 2009 will be the 10 year anniversary of my Nana's sudden death. I miss her just as much now as I did before. I love her so much and would give everything for one more second with her.
