I recently listened to a podcast from Speaking of Faith, which was an interview with Kate Braestrup, Unitarian Universalist minister and chaplain for the Maine Fish and Game Department (I hope I have that agency name right). Among the many things she had to say, one was that all our lives we are preparing for our deaths whether we realize that or not. If one accepts that premise, then the questions often asked and supposedly answered by religion about life after death, etc., become less meaningful. The question is more importantly what are we doing while we live? In Spong's words, are we loving wastefully? God is to be found in the love we show right now, in this life.
It sounds rather trite, but it has profound implications for how we live our lives, especially since your life or my life may be over sooner than expected.
