Bob Hope turned 100 today. They say he cannot communicate. It is a shame he cannot enjoy this milestone. But the fact is, our body wears out. It reminds me of the Matthew 6:19 from the Sermon On The Mount. Jesus said do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal. All things on this earth, including ourselves, decay and die. That is why the promise of eternal life is joyous. This body may die, but the spirit goes to live with God. And it the resurrection, all things are made new, including our bodies.
