If you know me, you know I hate death. I hate everything about it, and I hate the pain and brokenness it inflicts on those I love. I know that for those in Christ, death is just a doorway to paradise, and there is immense hope in that, but hope doesn't take away pain, and it is painful.
Right about the time I was thinking about all this and asking God "why" this song came on: Refuge by Skillet.
I'll just let you read the lyrics, or watch the video.
