When anybody dies

When someone dies, anyone, it should, if anything, give people the realization that our days are numbered and only activities that truly develop us in an *essential* way should get the vast majority of our attention...like, stop being shallow and desultory in your reading, Christians; get the word of God *engrafted* into your heart - fused into memory, will, and understanding - via a stated goal of complete readings; and get on-the-mark biblical doctrine into understanding to where it becomes the actual armor of God. Be systematic about it, and don't keep going over old ground, and be complete about it as well. There is such a thing as terminal understanding of ultimate things.
