Because He Lives . . .

Chorus:
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives,
all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

I attended the funeral for Linda's dad this afternoon at First Baptist Church Dallas. I was deeply saddened by the touching words of her brother as he talked about their dad. My heart went out to Linda as I know this has not been easy on her. I became consumed by the thoughts of those people close to me and how much I cherish the impact they have had on my life. It made me think of PapaJohn, Grandma Robert, Grandma and Grandpa Davis, Grandma Merrick, my parents . . . . I was sad today and it made me miss them . . . all of them.

ahhh Evan, that's been one of my favorite songs - Because He lives.
That's really sad about the funeral. I've been to too many funerals in my lifetime, but have to say, death totally makes you think about your life, and the people you love... We need to count our blessings, and never take things for granted!! And always keep in mind the ultimate goal in life is to be there 'when the roll is called up yonder'!

ok, that's my deep thoughts for the day!! love you!!!
