Busy days

Remember the old song "Lonely days and lonely nights?"

Well, I can’t say that I’m lonely!  The last few days have been busy.  Funeral preparation.  A 2 1/2 hour trip to be with our local area pastors.  A board meeting.  Recording a guitar.

All things that are quite enjoyable.  In many ways I feel refreshed.

Tomorrow is the funeral for John Graham.  The viewing was tonight.  John’s sister is in palliative care and there will probably be another funeral in the coming week.

And life goes on . . . but for some it stops.  At least on "this side of the golden shore." 

That’s where a periscope that could look beyond the border of mortal death would be inviting.  Perhaps we have already got a glimpse.  I call it the picture Bible — read pages like the last part of Revelations.  And glimpses in I Corinthians 15 and 2 Thessalonians 4.  And of course John 14 — I still like the idea of a mansion. 

All in all, I’ll take a final end that never ends!!
