Call me crazy, but I have a fascination with death. Not a morbid fascination though. I just have a ton of curiosity to know what it'd be like to see Jesus and to not ever have to live with sin. I've been reading a book called Life After Life, written by a doctor who has interviewed a lot of people who had life after death experiences. It's encouraging that these people report feeling very peaceful, relaxed, and untroubled by fear.
One man said that he had noticed that his mind was thinking more clearly than it did in everyday life. In his words, "My mind just took everything down and worked everything out for me the first time, without having to go through it more than once. After awhile everything I was experiencing got to where it meant something to me in some way." To me this sounds like the way life is supposed to be, even in this earthly life. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God has good plans for us. He's not just letting us walk through the day for no reason. Sometimes my life seems so mundane and insignificant. Maybe that's a lie. Perhaps every minute is important. Surely the hand of God is at work every minute. It's pretty exciting to think about life that way.
