Wow. Hard to believe it’s Easter again already. Time sure seems to fly by quickly in our modern, 21st century world. Living a simpler life is not necessarily easy in our post-Christian, postmodern era. Life is filled with busyness. The hustle and bustle of 21st century living whacks out our spiritual, emotional, physical, and financialContinue reading “Life More Simple”
Are You Prepared to Die?
Even though we all know that we are bound to die, death nonetheless manages to catch most of us by surprise. Have you given any thought to your funeral? Will you be buried or cremated? Are you an organ donor? How will the cost of your funeral be covered? Where will you spend eternity? HaveContinue reading “Are You Prepared to Die?”
