"What Is This Thing That Men Call Death"


Several times in the last few days these words have come to my mind... so beautifully written by President Gordon B. Hinckley:
What Is This Thing That Men Call Death

What is this thing that men call death,
This quiet passing in the night?
Tis not the end but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.

O God, touch Thou my aching heart
And calm my troubled, haunting fears.
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace beyond my tears.

There is no death, but only change,
With recompense for victory won.
The gift of Him who loved all men,
The Son of God, the Holy One.
--Gordon B. Hinckley
This month there has been a lot of passings. Grandma Lillie, cousin Cory, friend Brian, and today was Uncle Updike... there are many heavy hearts. My prayers are upward. How deeply grateful I am to know that there is life after death. Truly, I believe in President Hinckley's "There is no death, but only change".  When a man die, shall he live again? YES! Oh blessed Jesus!!
YES!!

What happens when we die?
