   it's the gift awarded to humans - to die and leave all the concerns of this   
   life behind.  Tolkiens ideas about that as expressed in the (I'm pretty sure   
   it was the Silmarillion) have affected the way I look at my own death, what   
   a beautiful way of coming to grips with that eventuallity - and of course   
   your faith in Jesus ensures that everything will be alright!
