Some people don’t like funerals, but I do. It’s not because I’m a morbid opportunist but rather I am a realist who has a hope beyond this life because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Funerals have a way of giving us a reality check that we all need from time to time so that we can make necessary adjustments in our lives to live well. We tend to get so caught up with work, family, entertainment & hobbies that we often don’t spend adequate time thinking about what matters most.
