It has been said that no one who writes about death can really know anything about it. In the ultimate sense, that is painfully true. But there are biblical teachings, facts, and lessons that can help us get a preliminary hold on the subject. In that context, I may have something to say. In the end, though, we are all still on this side of the "wall." My goal has been to think seriously, as the sub-title suggests, about my coming death ... and yours.
