On Dying

Our culture is pathetic when it comes to death. While not set in a Christian milieu this is a good article from the Telegraph (U.K.) that explores what it means to die well. We as followers of Christ ought to be setting the standard for what it means to die well. Avoiding the issue and shielding our children from it are two mistakes that I'm convinced are foolish and short-sighted. There are some good practical recommendations both for the dying and for those left behind in the article.
