Do you ever open a book to whichever page it takes you ,just to see what happens? To see where it could lead your thoughts? I was shocked when I picked up the D-E book of the Encyclopedia ,opened it to the word Death. I was even more shocked when I read the definition. " End of life" SLAP, right accross my face ,again... It makes it all sound so real ,so terminal , so not what I wanted for my child , so not what I want for my child. OK , well, it is right there in my face, lets wortk at this... End of life. Does that mean Julian will be gone and thats it? THE END !!! Everyone goes to bed , gets up the next day and never talk about him again? ABSOLUTELY NOT !!! Julian is so much more than a cheap movie with the words THE END written all over him... They fail to make a distinction in that definition. They fail to say that , that may just be the atheist's definition of death,not mine... Physical and spiritual death are both determined by a separation of some sort, physical as Julian and all of us will eventually experience is a separation of the body and the soul. Eccl 12:7 "the dust will return to the earth as it was,and the spirit will return to God who gave it." Doesn't that sound perfect? The soul goes on to be with God. Does this sound like the end to you? Now spiritual death is a separation between man and God because of sin... Isa 59:2a "your sins have made a separation between you and your God " Sin is like a shield that keeps God from hearing us . Death is more than just the end of life.For those who believe it is the hope they will see their loved ones again, it is the hope to be whole again after your body has been crippled and disminished by the beast . Death can be a deliverence for those who suffer. But what is it really to us who are left behind? An unfair reality ? A thief robbing you of what you loved most? My baby is fighting with all he has , and I am soooo proud of him for his strength , I have to honor that.He is stubborn and doesnt want to find out that he can be whole again. But if and when he goes, I will swallow my pain for a while so I can rejoice in the fact that with him dying , so died that nasty cancer. Julian's soul will be with God, He promised us. I cant forget that for Julian's tired and skinny body, that for his cancer ravaged brain and spine ,it will be Heaven to be freed ... AMEN !!!
As far as Julian's status, he started having seizures again today,which so far were controlled by meds... goodnight King Juju's fan club.... mimi
