We’ve dealt with some heartbreaking losses over the weekend. A missionary’s father went to be with the Lord. A member of our church passed away Saturday. A pastor’s wife in our metro area went to be with the Lord on Sunday.

Now, I read Chuck Colson is near death’s door.

It seems to have come in a wave at this point in time. There is rejoicing over the promotion of dear people to heaven. There is the loss of family members and friends.

Facing mortality has come up close and personal this week, it seems.
