Death. I'm getting closer. It seemed so far away when I was in grade school. I remember one of my high school teachers musing about what life would be like for us in the year 2000. That was 1983 and now it's 2008! I like what Simeon says as he reflects on his mortality, "Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace." (Luke 2:22) Simeon was ready! He knew and believed in Jesus. Death for a believer can be met with peace.
