Too many shooting off the Belt

[primsong]

Dang. Looks like this is the Year of the Funeral for our little church - we lost an elderly couple earlier this year (within a month of one another), then a man in his 40s to cancer... the mother of our 'handyman' just died last week, another fine old gentleman has been in and out of hospice riding the ragged edge and now *his* wife suddenly died this morning of a heart condition...AND our beloved "grandma" to the entire congregation is fading as well.

Enough already! Everyone is whipping along and shooting off the Great Conveyor Belt of Life a little too quickly, I think! Thankfully, all of them are believers and none were afraid of death at all - but golly, it's been a lot of funeral services for our new pastor.

Gah.

All the rest of you stay alive, 'k?
