For when you go to the grave,
there will be no work or planning
or knowledge or wisdom.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NLT)
On July 13th, my family suffered a great loss; the tragic and sudden passing of my father-in-law. On a road trip from Los Angeles to Greenwood, MS to mourn the death of his own father, he was involved in a single car accident which took his life at just 58 years old. The headlines of the local newspaper eerily read: Family Reunion Now Double Funeral.
Although the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a season and a time for everything including death, I feel safe in saying that for many of us, there are still times that we would much rather pass us by. This would easily be in my top ten.
