The Wondrous Cross

(Photo: Mr. Dickie at Emmitsburg, MD)

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of Glory died,

My richest gain I count as loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

(Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

Death

We fear death because we lose so much by dying. We lose the people we love, our wives and husbands, our children, our friends. We lose our work, our games, our art, all the things we did that gave us gladness. (Lewis B. Smedes, A Pretty Good Person, p. 37)
