The Reality of Mortality

Have you ever experienced instances of deep awareness or not even so much fear but a creeping up of the unknown. Initially, I want to pay respects to my friend who was on our team for a year Claude, whose brother passed away in a car wreck this past weekend. I've been interceding for he and his family since I heard of this loss.  

It's incredible how keen your personal awareness of mortality is heightened when someone close to you or generally connected to you passes away.  You have a reality of mortality. A moment when you realize that it won't always be like this that eventually you will pass on. A reality that some day, I will go home.  My prayer time over the last week I've found myself weeping and begging God for more time... that the nations would have a chance to hear. I'm not sure where my heartfelt sense of urgency is coming from but I know that it's real and urgent for such a time as this...

Side note... I think paranoia is setting in because literally every channel I have clicked through since I started typing this has had death, a casket, a memorial, someone dying, etc. I'm going to withdraw from this topic for the moment. Cheers.
