"I am in the land of the dying, yet hoping one day to be in the land of the living!"

In today's epistle lesson Paul wrote: "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 4:22). This verse empowers us who are presently in the land of the living awaiting our demise, the ability to say with faith and conviction: "I am in the land of the dying, yet hoping one day to be in the land of the living!"
