Jerry's Spiritual Quest

During my visits with Jerry, as I’ve mentioned before, we discussed his spiritual health. It’s a topic I discuss with many people as not only is it important, it interests me. I’m not one to preach, to say I have the answers because I don’t , but I know what works for me. So, I shared my faith---well, more than faith, I shared what I’ve experienced with God. Oddly, the most influence I had with him seemed to be the book I had written about a devout Christian woman who founded a charitable mission to help the impoverished in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky. (THERE IS NO HOPE HERE---amazon) He was impressed by the dedicated people who had no agenda other than to help others.

We talked about Jesus, God, Mother Theresa---anything that was on his mind. I said time and time again that my wish was for him to find peace with God.  I hope he did. For some, it’s difficult to imagine God loving someone who has done so many bad things, but like I told him, if you’re God, bad is relative. To one who is perfect, any sin is terrible, is it not. I urged him to stop thinking about himself as he approached God, to get to a place where he could sense the glory of God---then, at that point to begin a dialogue. He said he was trying.

One of the sad things about his death is that we are not able to continue that journey together.  I had planned when he was out to show him just how wonderful God is, to introduce him to people with no agenda other than love. I don’t know what death holds for people, but I can hope for the best.
