My wife Haley and I recently spent time in the mountains of North Carolina with family due to the passing of her Grandmother (we know her as Granny). Death is a strong thing to wrestle with, even as a Christian. My friend  Matt Dixon  says that we were never made to deal with death; I've known that to be true, but now I am experiencing that to be true--big difference there. However, even in the midst of grief, tragedy, and figuring out what to do next I have found a richness in God that I would not have otherwise, so in a strange sense, there has been a lot of life that is being ministered to my family through this, even though it is accompanied with strange, unusual, and unnatural feelings.  Kris Vallotton  once said, "the best times of our life are in our twilight years." Meaning, the best times we have in our life are experienced in the midst of the thing that takes us all beyond this earth. I've only known Granny since the time Haley and I have been together
