Our New Home A preacher who had always feared death felt powerless to comfort others who were facing it. Toward the end of his life, he moved to another house. When all the furniture had been packed, he lingered in the home where he d raised his children and prepared many sermons. An assistant interrupted those reflections by saying, Everything s gone, sir, but the new house is better than this one. Come away. The preacher never forgot this lesson.
