Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
I just read Bethany's blog
and she was practically giddy over the Delirious concert. The lads were fabulous. I remember back when Deeper came out and I was practically the first person I knew who liked them. Now everyone likes them and I couldn't go to the concert. Boohoo. *cries*

But.........

I am sooooooooooo glad I went to the viewing. It was so incredible. That church was packed with people and with flowers. Good heavens. Apparently, the florist that the church secretary recommended to people ran out of flowers and had to call in extra staff. I have never in my life seen that many flowers. It was so beautiful. It looked like Sis.Price was in her garden.
I'm glad that went, because Andrea (formerly known as Sally Jo), needed me. So many people just knew her as Sis.Price, but this is Andrea's grandmother.
She got up up from her seat when she saw me and gave me a hug and held my hand and started crying and told me about some things that had happened. Then she took me up to the casket and we talked. She had told me that alll the wrinkles had left Sis.Price's face, but I wasn't expecting what I saw. She (well, at least her body...her soul is in heaven) looks perfectly peaceful. Her face is smooth and even though her eyes are closed, there is a look of rest on her face. It's amazing.
We sang a few songs and then Bro.Price got up and talked about her. We just laughed and laughed. It was so joyful.
Today is the service at First Christian. They say it seats about 600 and I think it will probably be full. I have to be there at 12 for a sound check with the choir. What an honor to get to sing and to know that she asked for us. It's going to be an awesome experience.

This whole situation has been so amazing. I've never felt this way about a death before. I only really cried once and that was because I was so awestruck. I was praying for her and the family the day before she died and I had a picture in my mind of her in heaven, dancing on the streets of gold and I just wanted to laugh. It's amazing how we can see sadness and joy at the same time.

God is good.

Bless the LORD, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name!...And forget not all His benefits...who satisfies you with good as long as you live, so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.
Psalms 103:1,2,5
