This morning Brent Lawrence had to explain Chuck's death to Abbot, and Abbot's only understanding of death is Jesus' death on the cross. Brent said to him, "Abbot, Chuck has gone away to visit God." And Abbot said, "That's okay. But he'll come back in three days." I think that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. It makes me wonder; if Jesus hadn't died on the cross, would our concept of death be something entirely different? -Shalom Brian,
