After reading this (unlike you, I didn't feel tired reading it), my mind went to music, my place of rest. However, this time I thought of the Requiem by Verdi. Frightening. A day of terror.
That fatal day, that dies irae, when all will be called before the throne. Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulcra regionum coget omnes ante thronum (The trumpet, spreading a wonderful sound through the tombs of the region, will force all before the throne)
I’m officiating a funeral in Waterloo this morning and I believe it’s providential that I’m reading this now. My text is Psalm 90…a prayer of Moses, the man of God. Salvation is freedom…and rest. Thank you for sharing this, brother.

Dies irae dies illa solvet saeclum in favilla (That day of wrath will dissolve the century into ashes)

I appreciate and enjoy all of this so much 🤩 Thank you 🙏 and and
You're a pastor without loud trumpets or fury. I like that about you. I enjoyed reading it.

Funerals are always tough, but a great pastoral privilege. So good 🙏🙏🙏
That’s a great perspective on the faith.
