Crazy

I met with a friend of mine who is dying of cancer. Basically, he came back home to die. We talked about music, family, and "old times" that we've spent together. It was a good time, but so weird because he and I both know that he's going to die soon. He's scared, but excited.

It is a strange thought that we always say that we are "going to be with the Lord", but we also know that he is near always. My friend kept telling me that he feels so near to God and so close to God. Do we say this to reassure ourselves? Maybe there is a peace that falls on us when we know that we are dying.

Please pray for my friend, that GOd will ease his pain and that he will know that he is loved by his God, his family and his friends.

I know man. Tell him I love him and am praying for him. Mike T. told me a while back. Some of these questions will be answered when we get there, just have to wait....
