Some people get upset with me for I will not cry at a funeral of someone who has bodily died being a child of God for to me they only sleep until we meet again when Jesus comes back and the dead will rise first and then we that are still alive will meet with them in the air, 1 Thessalonians 4. When my Grandfather died many years ago I cried like a baby, but I did not know Christ at that time and then when my Grandmother died, who was a huge Christian influence in my early years, I never shed a tear, even though I miss her and my Grandfather very much, but will meet with them again someday. My family was upset with this, but yet they did not understand. I rejoice in the passing of those who are in Christ, but mourn for those who have died that never knew him. I never want anyone to shed a tear for me when that time comes, but to rejoice that I sleep until Jesus glorious return. I'm even preparing my ephatat to be read during my celebration of life while even at sleep I will witness that of Christ and give testimony to His name.
I called one of the guys that repair our equipment about 2 days ago. He said: Don't come today, I'm burying my mom.
