Devotions
I've started the new devotional book by David Jerimah. It is a 40 day devotional called, "Signs of Life." Today, I am depressed and sad. Today's devotional said, "Can you imagine if there were no Christmas lights?" Well instantly I thought that is my spirit today. So nothing pithy today in my comments, just gloom. I can't imagine how sad it must be for Sarah to bury her husband on such a miserable day.

Growing up I always thought that days like today seem like the kind of day to have a funeral because on a miserable today like today, it seems like the day goes right along with how you are feelings...whereas on a funeral day where it's bright and sunny, it seems to not correspond with how you are usually feeling at a funeral. I've never been one of those people who can look on the bright side at a funeral and think about celerbrating the person's life...I always think about how myself and other people are going to miss that person being here physically. And I don't go to many funerals anymore because years later I still see the person in my thoughts and memories in the casket instead of the times I spent with them alive...I'd rather skip the funeral and pretend they are on a trip and I can't see them rather than picture them over and over again as they were just as a body at their funeral. Sounds morbid, but I'd rather just picture them during the good times.
I have serious funeral issues, so it takes me a while both to gear up to go to one, & then to deal with life after one. Definitely not an easy thing to do. I'm going to call you this weekend about an idea I had for next week, to surprise my mini-me. :)s
Cool Sarah, are you going to suprise visit your mini-me?
