My SG leader's father died on saturday. Pretty sudden from what I understand which is about the best you could ask for. It got me thinking about my dad, as my dad has high blood pressure, and is older than my SG Leader's dad. Given the amount of stress that my dad goes through, I wonder how much longer does he have before he leaves us?
I'm scared at that thought, but also take comfort knowing that he knows the Lord and we would see him very soon. In a lot of ways, I feel like it would be a release from this life of hardship and trials that he has had to deal with in his life so that I did not have to deal with them in mine.
I've been reading about all the different things you can do to eat healthy, so that you have 25% less risk of a heart attack, or 15% less risk of developing diabetes or dying by age 65. And all this reminds me, that no matter how many percentage points you knock off from this "risk" you will die regardless. While this may be an argument for hedonism, it's not. It's an argument for righteousness.
Feeling very mortal all of a sudden.
