That's why I'm not afraid of dying. Okay, maybe a little nervous about a rough transition, but not the destination.
craver,
I love your affirmation - when I think of dying, it's the transition and also the thought of leaving my family behind that gets me nervous. But the accomodations ahead and the vision of our Savior is incomparable.
When we pray as a family, I place a heavy emphasis on God as our ultimate provider. When I am called home, they can look forward to our reunion, but we should always look to the Lord for our daily manna, rather than the meager paychecks I bring home.
Great wisdom certainly, but don't you wonder how he came to that conclusion? It seems that he was looking beyond what he could see here or had experience. So I always wonder how people get to the point of being able, experientially, of says something like this.
Craver
Thanks for your encouraging words and reminder of the loving, sovereignty of our Savior

That's a great question - I think the answer lies in a combination of convictions developed through scripture and the testing of those convictions through the trials of life.
I suspect that there is a type of growth can only take place through the pain of suffering.
I'm afraid that as much as I dislike your answer (too entirely painful) that I must agree completely. Suffering is the only way to be sure because it removes the dross that confuses.
