My grandpa just turned ninety. He is so slight and frail. I don't know when that happened.... He used to be a giant. He has never been an overly emotional or demonstrative man. But now it is as if all the deep things in his heart have risen to the surface. His skin is so transparent I can see his longing... I was watching him speak, and all I could think was, "He is so close. What must it feel like to know you are so close to heaven?" It is a long recurring dream unfolding. And it is scary but it is wonderful- and he doesn't know what to do with it. So he cries.
"The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."
