Notes

The Death Penalty - Is It Wrong?
"For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:7-8). One of the biggest questions there is to ask is, why does God love us? To answer that you need to understand God's character and your unworthiness. God loves us because He loves us. We don't deserve His love nor could we ever earn it. We are so unworthy that we are not even worth the dirt. God killed Uzzah for trying to protect the ark from falling but God wasn't worried about the ark falling to the ground. He didn't want man to touch the ark (1 Chronicles 13:9-10).


If you contact a funeral home that is trying to sell flowers you should politely say no thanks. Many of the mom and pop funeral homes have been purchased by a just a couple very large companies . These companies maintain the local name but they operate very differently. The funeral directors working for the funeral homes get commissions on flowers that are sold, the funeral home also keeps some of your money as commission on your flower order instead of it going into the sympathy flowers. Worse yet the funeral home employees don't know anything about flowers, what is in season or in stock so you are paying a premium for lousy service.

It was unusually warm for October, an Indian summer day. With his red handkerchief, Nessdahl wiped the perspiration from his face and neck, then the sweatband within his felt hat. He peered out at the work remaining. The job was bigger than he expected, yet if he kept at it he could be done before lunch. Some folks would offer him a sandwich or a glass of lemonade, but the Trandahls were not one of them. Then he remembered he had some salami in the refrigerator, and the thought of a nice sandwich made the job more bearable.

We like to think of ourselves as a melting pot society but the reality is that we are far from being homogenous. Granted there are many similarities but there are also many significant differences. This is especially true when it comes to how a family deals with the death experience.



Grandparents - particularly - avidly collect cards and artwork from their grandchildren. Have you ever met a grandparent who throws away a single picture or letter from a grandson or daughter? Well, these items can also also be included in the funeral slideshow to demonstrate how loved and honored the person was in life.

I was a huge fan of the whole family and I also enjoyed Ricky Nelson's music in the 70's. I went to a Garden Party sings of his frustration that people didn't want to listen to his music, they only came to see the boyhood TV hero. Ricky died tragically, way too young as well, when a fire on board his plane caused it to go down. The FFA said it was caused by a faulty heater.

Face amounts usually range from a few thousand dollars to about $25,000. These smaller death benefit amounts keep the price affordable for many older people.

The beauty of death is that it takes us to the next step. Death is a revival of the faulty put to rest. And death only marks the beginning of our next journey. To this, I say the end is near and death marks the end, for change.
