Whether we are young or old makes no difference. What are twenty or thirty or fifty years in the sight of God? And which of us knows how near he or she may already be to the goal? That life only really begins when it ends here on earth, that all that is here is only the prologue before the curtains go up—- that is for young and old alike to think about. Why are we so afraid when we think about death?…

Death is only dreadful for those who live in dread and fear of it. Death is not wild and terrible, if only we can be still and hold fast to God’s Word. Death is not bitter, if we have not become bitter ourselves. Death is grace, the greatest gift of grace that God gives to people who believe in him. Death is mild, death is sweet and gentle; it beckons to us with heavenly power, if only we realize that it is the gateway to our homeland, the tabernacle of joy, the everlasting kingdom of peace.

How do we know that dying is so dreadful? Who knows whether, in our human fear and anguish we are only shivering and shuddering at the most glorious, heavenly, blessed event in the world?

Death is hell and night and cold, if it is not transformed by our faith. But that is just what is so marvelous, that we can transform death.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Just because something is popular doesn’t make it true. On the other hand, just because something is trending, doesn’t make it a lie either. You be the judge. But we can all be sure of one thing…stopping evil in any form is the right thing to do. Whether it be through a simple poster, tweet, or donating millions of dollars. Evil must be stopped. Whether its in a country’s “best interest” or not. There is not one good why children should be killed, forced to kill, or be harmed under any pretense. 

Sharing this doesn’t make you a social activist. But ignoring a cause and doing nothing makes you guilty. Make it a great day folks!
