no question

My favorite uncle from childhood died this morning.

The grief I have over this news is different.

Relationship changes things.

We shared a strong relationship when I was young.

He moved out of state before I became a Christian.

Over the years communication dwindled from the yearly Christmas card with a personal note to sporadic reports via my mom.

There is something I regret more than that.

I do not know where my uncle stood with God while he lived.

I never thought to ask him.

I hope and pray he was a believer.

I want my relationship with Jesus to be so strong, 
so intimate that there is no question of where I am 
when I pass from this life to the next.
