After visiting the thrift stores I came home to chill till everyone comes home. Carol just called to tell me they are having lunch downtown, Lou is in a good mood still and eating her meal.
It has been raining a little here by Lake Michigan. Well I will close to do my little dance of death. Existence keeps zooming by! We will soon all be dead. I remember these words of God recorded in His Book the Bible-
"[11] And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
[12] That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words." First Thess. 4:11-18
