Pondering...

 I've had health problems the last couple of months. I've probably told you more about them in my blog than you wanted to ever know!

But those issues have given me lots to ponder about.

One of them is 'death'.

I've never really thought I was at death's door in these long weeks, but it has caused me to ponder death and dying.

My mother was in her mid-60's when she died. My dad made it to 83.

I'm an only child of them and if you average their death ages I'm already above the average....

So, is it any wonder that I ponder dying while in and out of the hospital and surrounded by doctor appointments?

I haven't reached any  conclusions yet--far from it.

And I must admit that even as an Episcopal priest I have little concept of 'heaven' and 'eternal life'. Not even close.

Death waits for us all. Patient and in no hurry for us.

But it is worth pondering....
