Dying is not a favorite topic for most of us. We want to avoid talking about it and would like to circumvent death itself. But it's inevitable here on earth.
As a pastor, I often saw how awkward most people feel around the survivors of loved ones who've died. What do we say or not say to them?
This is especially true in American culture. Most other cultures have specific customs and beliefs about death. Grief and mourning are natural, not something to ignore or avoid.
I was a praise and worship leader for four decades. I suppose I could still lead, but my role in life and ministry is different now.
I miss that role at times, especially when I see leaders overly concerned with their performance and presentation of the music. It grieves me when I see this for that shouldn't be their focus.
It's easy to see that American culture exalts good performance and entertainers. But this is more of a human flaw than a cultural one.
