We hold our hearts in sorrow today and send prayers of strength to our dear friends Kari and Sandi. Their cousin/nephew Joey was not able to recover from a very serious work related accident and he accepted his wings and headed home. Please take a minute to visit with them and, even if you don't really "know" them, let them know you are thinking of Joey's family, and of them and their own.
"When I Get Where I Am Going"
When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

This was so beautiful Cassie. I just knew, when no update came in last night, that something was very wrong. Bless them all...U will continue to pray for Karen and the boys.
I will keep them in my heart and thoughts and prayers.
You are a sweetie dear Cassie.
Hugs,
Sue
Cassie, you are one of the wonderful people and Kari and I thank you all so much...I remember the first time I heard When I get where I'm going" I had to pull the truck over to the side of the road because I could'nt see it for the tears! I am satisfied in my soul that Joey is exactly where he should be, God doesn't make mistakes. I dreamed the night he died that he had met up with his Pawpaw who was giving him a pinch of snuff!!! Thanks so much, my friend. I can't wait for Kari to get home and back in time with life...
Thank you, Cassie. That was beautiful.
