Death is just the next birth.

Death and birth are reciprocal cycles.

To an infant, after nine months in the safety of a womb, birth into the world is traumatic.  But we all experienced it, and we all had more life outside.

Jesus compared his death to a birth.

From the relative safety of the known (the world we live in) the next stage is scary. We understand maybe an inkling more about that life than the infant does about our world. 

But we know enough to know to be excited, if we're rooted in Jesus.

In the meantime, I'll make the best time of this preparation chamber that I can.
