“I suppose that this is the ultimate test of faith for you,” one man muses, hoping that I will have the good sense to accept God’s will. “Anyway,” he says at the close of the letter, “I’ll pray for your remission, and if you die that your suffering is minimal.” Thanks, Joe from Indiana. Sometimes I want every know-it-all to send me a note when they face the grisly specter of death, and I’ll send them a cat poster that says HANG IN THERE!
