Thoughts on heaven...and getting dressed!

Thanks to Tom for this quote - food for thought....

"I once scorned ev'ry fearful thought of death,
When it was but the end of pulse and breath,
But now my eyes have seen that past the pain
There is a world that's waiting to be claimed.
Earthmaker, Holy, let me now depart,
For living's such a temporary art.
And dying is but getting dressed for God,
Our graves are merely doorways cut in sod."

- Calvin Miller

I especially love the last two lines - "getting dressed for God" - wow...
