 Death is going to happen whether we like it or not. Everybody deals with death differently. Some people may want to isolate themselves, some people may want to talk to everyone to express their feelings with God, family and friends and some people may lash out of frustration. I remember when I was in middle school and one of the students in my grade died. The next class I had was English and the teacher said if anyone wants to write something to the family, you could so I decided to write a letter to the family. Even though I didn't know the guy, we spoke often in the lunch line. After somebody dies, of course there will be some crying and trying to console others but I think the grieving process is an individual journey depending on how the deceased impacted their loved one(s) and it might be in general too.

 Last week I read a devotion in the book,  My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Oswald Chambers to my grandfather. The devotion is pouring out the water of satisfaction. I don't read devotions, but my grandfather wanted me to read the devotion for that day, so I read it. You can read the devotion at your leisure but I'm going to give you my interpretation of this devotion and if you disagree or want to have a conversation about this, please comment. My interpretation is that God wants me and/or believers to pour out to Him. Pouring out to Him means give every problem and battle to Him and maybe then some after that.

This society is a ME society and I think we are becoming a WE society slowly, very slowly bu
