I shared a short message at Pop's funeral. It was emotional, given the situation. I was able to share some thoughts and stories about him, how proud we were as kids (what could be cooler than having a Dad who was a policeman!), how hard he worked (providing for seven kids), how he did his best with us and took care of our mother when she was sick and dying. I know I didn't say everything I intended to, but at least what got out came from the heart. I also shared the message of our heavenly father, and the love he demonstrated in sending Jesus to die for our sins, and how, because of his sacrifice we can receive, by faith, the gift of eternal life. Several people indicated they were thankful for what I said, a couple even accepted gospel tracts. I appreciate your prayers that the seeds that were sown might take root in someone's life. I also appreciate prayers for my brothers.
