Too much death

No, nobody really close to me, but a couple of friends who are close to me have lost loved ones recently. Two in the last couple of weeks. Also someone in my extended family on my mom's side. Seems like Satan is just having a grand ol' time. I don't know why it's really bugging me now more than ever but I just want Jesus to come back and end it all right now.

Come on, God. Bring the hammer down! Smoke 'em! Show 'em who's boss! How can you be so patient!?!?

Yeah, sometimes I feel like God is too patient. But His ways are higher than our's, aren't they? I'm reminded of the last part of the letter Paul wrote to the church in Thessalonica, where he encourages them not to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.

Gotta keep on keepin' on.
