I went to a funeral yesterday. The man was a believer and so it was a celebration of hope. He would be missed, that much was obvious from the people who shared how he had touched their lives. It was a reminder of the resurrection and eternity.
What was startling was that he was one month younger than I am. That would have really gotten my attention if I was not ready to go also. It did remind me of how blessed I am in health, family, wealth, knowledge and spiritual experiences. I again ask that question, “Why me?” I have to assume there is still more for me to contribute.
I would assume the same for you.
Merry Christmas and a blessed eternity.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
