Beginnings that Begin with an End

By Pastor John on 9/4/2008

Today was a different kind of day.  I sang & played a song at a funeral service--"This Road" by Jars of Clay.  It was for Barb C's mother.  It's the same song I played in the same chapel 2 years ago at my great uncle's funeral.

I also did a lot of stuff for the wedding.  Jen came with me to pick out the Tux.  I'm not sure if fiancées are supposed to come along but I needed her so I wouldn't pick out colors that clashed with the bridesmaids (who by the way had their dresses picked out 10 years ago, jk).

It's strange thinking about a wedding and a funeral all in one day.  It's like their opposites.  One is a beginning, the other is an end.  But I guess funerals aren't ends, they're beginnings--the beginning of an eternal spiritual destiny in (for hopefully most of us) heaven.
