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!

Prayer Request
Pray for me, Pastor, for sin has made a disaster of my life. I know that I must some day meet the Master. Because I am not right, I am afraid. I have seen so many loved ones laid to rest, and I realize that I could be next. I hear you preach about the Savior Who brought you out of your sin. I want Him to save me too, but I fear that you cannot convince me to change. I've tried my very best to reign over my sinful flesh, but I can never pass the tests that temptations bring. Just As I Am must not mean me, for I still seem to see myself as sinful as can be. Please, Pastor, pray for Jesus to set me free. I want to be saved. Does Jesus save all who ask from their future, present, and past sins? Can my new life begin over and over and over again, like I've never sinned? Was sin's penalty paid when Christ arose from the grave? Is it true that I am forever saved, forever free?
