Since it is night, I have already been to Chorale practice. Denise was there with her sister, which brings the funeral to mind. It was Saturday morning and it was well done. At one point, the pastor said something about Pat being in Glory with the father forever. That made me remember the song Finally Home by Don Wrytzen. Here are the words that I thought about during the memorial service.
When surrounded by the blackness of the darkest night,
O how lonely death can be;
At the end of this long tunnel is a shining light,
For death is swallowed up in victory!
But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven!
Of touching a hand-And finding it God's!
Of breathing new air-And finding it celestial!
Of waking up in glory-And finding it home!
Publishing this at night also means you may not see today's CoV until tomorrow. Sorry about that. Let me share with you what the team at work saw this morning.
Another risk is that I am tired and not as creative as I might have been at 7am. See, that would be the reason to create a secondary blog.
Kathie made it all day back at work without a pain pill. That's good news. She is scheduled to get her permanent cast on Friday.
OK, it is bedtime and so, I am shutting down this post. Sorry if it is too short. Maybe I'll get more creative in upcoming entries. Let's go to bed.

words well spoken randy...thank you for the encouraging words; to see HIS GLORY thru pats eyes has to be an incredible moment as he struggled to even see color. I do love the song that you mentioned. my sister felt honored to be getting a glimpse/free concert from the chorale. so many people she said she could feel the love from people everywhere she went with me. she said i warned her:"watch this guy named randy" he will probably say hey patch! i also told her to pray for your wife kathy...she said it sounded like you could have some creative ideas/jokes? i will forward your blog since she now knows who you are. well everyone is gone now, the house is quite & am sitting in pats "man-chair". so feel like he is here in the room but....the tv would have to be 20 decimals highter! will be going to stay with christina in tucson from friday to tuesday. back in time for chorale practice. have a BLESSED week. "patch"
