Hence, the funeral will be in and with the church as its believers are present.<br />We must remember what church means.

Joe's ALS is progressing rapidly. Joe is small of body and Roger is big, but they walk well together in Love in whom they live, move and have being. Now Roger can no longer lift Joe when he falls. Like Tracy these men love Jesus, church and tri-Godde. So do I. Also, I miss our lunches Elizabeth.Lyn G.

But if you're there, you've brought the church best as you could.<br /><br />It's similar to when one of my friends died a couple of years ago. She had her funeral in the church, but there were some things I felt "weren't quite right"--namely, we didn't have Eucharist. To this day, I think she would have wanted the Eucharist at her funeral. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. None the less, I had to let that one go.Kirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-12465028337542812182011-07-18T19:09:01.645-04:002011-07-18T19:09:01.645-04:00Well, now I'm crying and can't explain why...Well, now I'm crying and can't explain why.<br /><br /><i>Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.</i>Frair Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855036304956508405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-63747838926172567952011-07-18T18:45:45.082-04:002011-07-18T18:45:45.082-04:00Amen!

On my worst days, I feel horribly out of step with the institutional church and question the mental status that led me to believe that I could be part of such an organization. Other days, I think, "Well, it's not the only game in town, but it's not the worst game in town."<br /><br />When my heart is sad, I tend to think more the former than the later.<br /><br />Thanks for your prayers.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-68469573496729681312011-07-18T14:24:39.881-04:002011-07-18T14:24:39.881-04:00Dear Elizabeth,
