this world has nothing for me...

One of my favorite Christian songs is from Caedmon's Call. The main chorus says, "This world has nothing for me, and this world has everything - all that I could want and nothing that I need." As children of God, we know that this world is temporary, and that a kingdom far beyond our wildest imagination is waiting for us when we die. Still - death is not a friend. We are afraid of death, afraid of losing those whom we love. Kathy Parish, one of our witty and wise members says, "Heaven might be my home - but I am NOT homesick!" Today, our congregation gives a send off as we honor the life of a saint of the congregation. We will miss her, as we miss all those who we love, and who we lose. But what a joy that comes with knowing all of our dear saints are in heaven! I cannot imagine the awesome reunion that I'll get to enjoy one day! What a party that will be.
