In the end ...

Is our goal to come to the end and arrive at death intact, well-groomed, at peace, content and happy? No. We are called to arrive tattered, torn, weary, and yet joyfully satisfied saying, "I have carried my cross, and I have known the suffering, and I have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."

And then we truly begin ...
