This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Awareness of Death
Death stands next to each moment, forcing us to fully soak it up, to let it wash over us and to hold onto it with all we have, for it is passing into nothingness. And yet in that activity we discover that the depth of experience is without bounds and that life has a quality to it that is beyond the facts of it's passing away, bringing us to the conviction that the moment passes not into nothingness, but into something beyond imagining.
