1 year later; 1 death later

July 31, 2010 at 2:12 pm (Uncategorized)

It’s been almost exactly a year since I last posted. Another friend died of cancer almost exactly a year since Joel passed. Kandice Robinson passed away late Tuesday night after battling breast cancer. I’m leaving in just a few minutes for her funeral.

I’m impressed by a sense of peace about death right now. I am starting to realize that this world is short and painful, and the next is eternal and full of joy. Kandice was a cheerful worshiper of God, and she doesn’t have to spend any more time suffering on earth waiting for the chance to worship in peace. My heart is burdened for her family who must go on without her from now on, but I praise God for his promise that our pain will be limited to this world.

Kandice, you inspired us all to live better. We miss you.
