I'm not about to become some sort of fanatic. Besides, the church is half-dead, nobody seems to want to do anything, anymore. Anyway, I just don't have time for religion. My wife is depressed, my kids are always in trouble for one thing or another, and I can hardly sleep at night myself. Tell the truth, sometimes, I feel so dead inside I can't even cry.
Death is easier than life.
It asks nothing from us. Death makes no demands. The smell of death permeates this age. Too many churches are only museums, memories and museums of better days. Death smells a lot like too many memories and not enough dreams.
