Generally we say, "living and dying." Life comes first, then death. Yet for the believer, the order is reversed. There is death, and then there is life eternal in all its fullness.
I thought of that as I read the blog accounts of the passing of J. Alan Groves. I was unaware of the life or ministry of Professor Groves until I read of it online. His wife's account of the final hours of his life on earth and his passage to eternity was moving, even to one who did not know him. We do well to think often of the shortness of life on earth and the reality of our eternal destiny. This account will help you do that. It's well worth a read, as is the more extended account.
