Funeral Fun and Tyler at Two

We had a good funeral yesterday for sweet lady who attended our church. Dad was up for the first time since breaking his leg and did the main part of the service . I did the graveside part of the service. Everything went well until I tried to read 1 Corinthians 15:53 “For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.” It came out, “This mortal body must put on immorality.” Boy can a “t” make a big difference. You know how they say it is not proper to laugh at funerals, well someone couldn’t help it.

In other news: Tyler has started talking much better now, and lately he has been saying, “Ready to go home?, going home?” This is odd, because we are usually home when he says it. So we asked, “Where is home Tyler?” To which he replied, “Church daddy!” When you are a pastor’s kid it may sometimes feel this way, that you are at church more than home. However, this is one of those lessons learned by practice, not preaching, that I am so thankful for from my childhood. Church was our priority. It was our family. It was our home in many ways. Now I want to pass that on as well. There is something greater than our family and our home in this world, the church.

So in honor of Tyler’s quote here is Friday’s Foto:
