Monkey Butter's blog: "Sermons"

Sup Juggalos, As we near the end of the year, I am noticing an increase in the loss of precious Juggalo lives. Virginia Beach recently lost a couple young ninjas to an unfortunate automobile accident. True Crime Report. com talks about a Lette who was tragically murdered. During the holiday season is a most difficult time to cope with the loss of a loved one. Difficult in the sense that these holidays are a time for family to gather around the dinner table to feast and share memories of the ending year. It is especially hard to cope with these festive occasions when you look across the table and the place that was set for your loved one is no longer being filled. I was recently asked by one parish member how does one deal with such things. It seems that towards the end of this particular year the time of the Harvest is at hand. Harvest meaning the harvesting of souls. We do not know why this occurs or how the great wheels are spun into motion which determine fate for one individual or another. Perhaps this harvesting is a result of our own actions. Maybe we should of went right instead of left. Maybe we should have stayed instead of gone. The answer seems very blurry at best. Perhaps the losses of life are based on things that we do not have control of. I think that is the most difficult to comprehend for us humans...the result of situations in which we had no control. Man since the dawn of time has tried to be the master of his/her environment. We have tried to master even our own fates. Imagine the trouble in trying to fathom, rationalize and control things that cannot be fathomed, rationalized or controlled. Hindsight is 20/20. We always try to look back and analyze a situation that has already occurred. What would the outcome be if I only had done this? How would things be different if I had only done that? The unfortunates is we cannot change things that have already happen. We can only deal with what is happening now, cope with what happened in the past and look forward to the future. I have described death as a full circle. A circle that cannot be broken. Our time and when it comes and how it comes is something that cannot be planned or expected to happen. We only know that we are born, we live and we die. The choices that we make in life may or may not effect the result of our death. If one puts a gun to their head and pulls the trigger we know that it is highly likely that death will occur, but not even that is certain. I have met a man who has put a gun to his head and now lives with the consequences of his actions. Robbed of his sight by his own hand in an attempt to control a destiny that could not be controlled. We cannot foretell the future, nor can we undo the past. What is certain is that the choices that we make in this life greatly effect the outcome of what happens after life and in new life. For those who have felt loss I say this. Do not fear death, embrace it. Pray that when it comes it is glorious. Know that it may be the end of what you have known, but it is also the beginning of what you have not known. Life is a circle and in the end of the circle comes death, but yet another circle begins, that of a new life...one full of promise and adventure. Grieve and grieve fully fore it is healthy and the right thing to do. But know that the grief is only temporary. Fill the emptiness in your heart with memories that are filled with laughter. Hold tight to your memories, but more importantly cherish and hold tighter to the ones who are left behind, fore it is the strength of the collective love that will help you through the loss of the individual. Know that the memories that you have with your loss loved one are not coming to an end. You have more memories to go you need only to wait until your circle is complete. Honor their memory, Love them and keep them, always remember them. I hope this sermon finds you well. I hope that it will help. I hope that your grief will be short. Never be afraid to say I love you. MCL
