The older you get the more death you see until soon enough it is your own demise you face. I met Charles Michael Moser through South Tampa Fellowship. I first met his daughters family at STF and later as Mike came to know and grow in Jesus I had the pleasure of knowing him. He is an awful sweet fellow and I am happy to know that he is where I will be when I pass form this death unto my new life with the Lord.
It was only a couple months ago that we would see him at church just about every time we would gather. On Fridays we would see him behind the welcome desk in the morning and it was always a blessing to have his welcoming presence there to greet us. The last two Fridays we saw him it was evident he was experiencing a change in his health. There was talk of a hernia but I suspect he knew something more was up. It was not long after he went to see a doctor who gave him the news I think he already anticipated. Cancer was the diagnosis but no one could have suspected just how pervasive it was. Now when I arrive at church I miss seeing him but I know I will see him soon enough along with my father and the growing number of folks I love who have gone on before. It really is a happy thought to know that as soon as I leave this body I will be in the presence of Jesus with all my bothers and sisters who have gone on before!
