Good morning

In past blogs I've written about John Piper's great little book, Don't Waste Your Cancer.  Piper points out in Chapter 5 that we waste our cancer if we refuse to think about death.  Maybe I'm supposed to be thinking about death today since today's prayer in my Valley of Vision collection of Puritan prayers and devotions (and thank you, Joe, for the millionth time, for the gift of that book) pretty much lays out my wishes for the time when God calls me home.
The writer of this prayer prays, "Prepare me for death, that I may not die after long affliction or suddenly, but after short illness, with no confusion or disorder, and a quiet discharge in peace, with adieu to brethren.  Let not my days end like lumber in a house, but give me a silent removing from one world to another."
What a way to go!
And, by the way, I'm feeling great this morning :)  Thank you all for your steady, faithful prayers.
