Keep it real
Do you know Psalm 23? Albeit written 1000 BC, it is still so familiar to many. But do we let the words to flow by us, mutter them at a funeral, and possibly not really engage with them? They were written as a prayer, so why couldn't we use them as a prayer to God, adding our bits when needed - keep it real.

I have a parishioner who’s going on hospice today. A friend of theirs was in church. When I mentioned it, they replied, “We’re praying for a miracle that he pulls out of it.”
What is it about us that we don’t accept death? Who do we want served when we pray for those types of miracles?
Nobody gets out of here alive.
