Death of Buddy the Dog

A word for Mom
from God knows where

This could have been about final moments between a son and his mother. For Mom is fragile now, and 800 miles from Kansas, across the eastern plains to Ohio. Or it could have been about death. For I’m the only male left in Mom’s and Dad’s family. Dad …

Grateful to grieve

Sweet dreams of heaven

A FEW MINUTES AFTER MY BROTHER DIED of COVID-19 on December 30, my sleeping sister dreamed that he came to her with a message. What he told her makes this seem like more than a dream. If it’s not a glimpse into heaven, it sure seems like an …

Here’s how a Christian dies

GOD GIVES DYING PEOPLE SOMETHING INVISIBLE. Strange to say, I’ve seen it. Not in any mystical sense. No hovering spirits or coins sliding along a tabletop. I’ve seen it the way we see the wind. Leaves moving. A rush of air that blows …

Little brother is gone

I COULDN’T TAKE THE PICTURE. I’ve worked as a photojournalist. I’ve taken pictures of dead teenagers whose bodies were still trapped inside a car that a train mauled, shoved, and crushed 200 yards down a railroad track before …

How much can you take?

I WOKE WITH TEARS yesterday. And my first thought of the day felt like a jolt inside my head: “Is he still alive?” Let me make this short. My wife and I broke our Covid-19 protocol on Wednesday. We watched our grandsons, ages 2 and 4. You can wear a …

Formerly dead man talking

Q When Jesus appeared to the disciples, they were shocked and terrified (Luke 24:37). Instead of running to give him a hug, they stood frozen with fear. What do you think about that? A It would be a discomforting experience to stand in the presence …

Good news for folks physically sick

A YOUNG LADY I KNEW DIED THIS WEEK. She was 49 years old, far too young to die, I think. She edited children’s material for a Protestant denomination. We used to work on the same floor many years ago. I lost touch with her. When I heard on Monday …
