I believe in HEAVEN more than ever. Yesterday a few of us gathered in our “back 40” here at the church … very gently we placed Danny’s ashes into the ground. I walked around and looked at all the names of those “who have gone before..” I think of all the people I miss … all the people who have given so much to me personally and to our “humble temple.” It’s overwhelming sometimes, isn’t it??? The people who have come into our lives, and those who have left us!! I certainly don’t know what “heaven” looks like. And I know we get “glimpses of heaven” here on earth …when people reach-out with incredible acts of kindness … and when common ordinary folks get together to make life better for people in need. Like Jesus said to his followers before he left this earth: “In my Father’s house are many rooms … I go now to prepare a place for you.” There is “room for us” in God’s eternal kingdom … and for all those who have graced our journey along the way. In the meantime … let’s hold onto that promise of eternal life. And may we give each day and each moment our very best. Peace and goodness to all of you … Don
