We are all dying. It is true of the sinner, as well as the saint. We must prepare for life after death. Writing these poems comforted me when I was mourning my brother, Bruce (October 20, 1953 - November 3, 2010). I wrote Poems For the Dying 1). to encourage Christians, 2). to comfort the bereaved, 3). to make those battling terminal illnesses less fearful, and 4). to be a soul winning tool. Death creates an unexpected, soul-gathering harvest opportunity. There is life after death. Joy!

Appreciate Jesus
Jesus is appreciated most by those of us who thought we were alone, those who thought we were holding our own until we discovered Him and learned that He was there all the time. Jesus is appreciated most by those of us who remember the fear of facing a ferocious foe, while thinking that we had to go into battle by ourselves because we simply did not know that He was there all the time. Jesus is appreciated most by those who are exiting the shadow of the Valley of Death and entering the Valley of Death, itself. For we know that as we pass, we shall find rest for our souls because Jesus is there, was there, and shall forever be there, beyond the end of time.
