A dying person will hardly ever ask you to read to them from People magazine or Glamour. They don’t have the time or the interest in keeping up with the Kardashians.
I’ve sat with my share of dying people over the years and never once have I had them request that I read to them from any of the pop culture rags, but every single one of them has asked me to read to them from the Bible. What is it about dying that makes people hunger for the Word of God in a way that the living rarely do?
You know what else I’ve noticed?
The dying don’t watch much TV. It’s like the minute they find out they are dying, they toss out the remote. The dying don’t seem to care if the world is coming to an end in 2012. They sure the heck don’t care if Mitt Romney or Obama wins the election.
The dying don’t sunbathe, work on their tan lines, or worry about what they are going to wear. They don’t waste hours surfing the web, or arguing about the existence of God.
The dying lack patience for bad coffee and irreverent people.
