Confusion will be my epitaph 
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I’ll be crying
– Peter Sinfield from the song “Epitaph” by King Crimson
What is your life like on this side of eternity? Well first, we know it can’t be all bad because we know there is an eternity on the other side. There is life over there; there are people over there; there is a God over there and His Son is there waiting for us. Imagine if you didn’t know that and you believed there was nothing on the other side of this life. I think of the line from the King Crimson song, “Epitaph,” Will no one lay the laurel wreath when silence drowns the screams? What a tragic way to think about the end.
Driving through town today, I passed a man carrying a sign that simply read “LOVE,” with the reference, “John 3:16” under it. It pleased me as I thought about it. I have seen lots of John 3:16 signs at sporting events, and other large gatherings — even embedded in the black patch some football players wear under their eyes — but I can’t recall ever seeing that reference coupled with the word “love.”
