| A another mass funeral in Syria. This one (Feb. 26, 2013) in Homs. |
Which do you think is better…
* To choose to attend a funeral?
* Or to choose to go to a party?
(Yes, I am setting you up!)
Well, here’s your answer from one of my favorite Bible books:
Ecclesiastes 7:2
New International Version (NIV)
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
than to go to a house of feasting,

A young, evangelical Funeral Director who gets this is named Caleb Wilde (@calebwilde). He is becoming one of my favorite bloggers @ http://www.calebwilde.com/
He’s so thoughtful and and quite the gifted writer. Here is Wilde’s post from yesterday (2/28/2013). Really terrific IMO, though sobering. (Remember now, the guy’s a funeral director.)
