5 months ago right now I was coming out of emergency surgery to stabilize my leg and stop the internal bleeding. None of my family or friends had arrived yet, but I knew my children were safe and the cavalry was coming. It was the first morning with my sweet wife gone.

I go back to the shortest verse in the Bible: "Jesus wept." He wept over his friend Lazarus's death. Even though he knew he was about to resurrect Lazarus. Even though he specifically *allowed* Lazarus to die so he *could* resurrect him. Death is profoundly wrong.

The Christian God, who has redeemed death by entering it himself and coming out the other side, still regards death as a tragedy. And those two words, "Jesus wept," mean anyone who offers as comfort "God must have a plan," or, "we'll reunite in heaven" are out of step with God.
