Morbid fascination....you dear FR, have it wrong. Very very wrong.
My father went Home to be with his Lord...one month ago tomorrow. I've cried perhaps 2 times...Why? Because he led HIS life with, as you phrased it, with a morbid fascination of the afterlife... :) ..... he led his life for Christ. He knew his time would come someday, as will each of us reading this thread.
I've not cried because I am SO VERY VERY VERY happy that he's HOME WITH HIS LORD!!! He lived for that moment.
How many of us can say that we're doing that, day by day by day? Or will we mock Him? Will we mock the poster of this thread and the message presented?
If you've made your peace with Jesus, REJOICE! If you've not....why?
Amen and Amen! Thank you!
I know how you feel. My mom died at 56 from cancer. That was years ago and I still miss her.
But what I was trying to say is too many have a morbid fascination with some sort of end time. I don't know what is going to happen in the future and I think it is unhealthy to obsess on it.
