A quote from Tori Hamre. She was pretty famous for the "Suck Rope Pal" quote.
Last night I got word that my friend Vicki wasn't doing well. That end of life measures were happening. I was so saddened by this news, I had myself an ugly cry night.
I know that we all die, I know that there is an end, that is really just a glorious beginning. Last night I had the lyrics of Shaun Groves running through my head. He is an amazing lyricist and singer. Here's the words and a link to listen: Last Notes: Shaun Groves/Album Version
There is a part of me
That's only visiting
Torn from eternity
A stranger here
The awkward mingling of
The loveless and beloved
So far from things above
While I am here
So when the last notes of my soul's summer symphony
Go stealing through this old world's cold garden gates
I will hold no fear as You close my book of hours
And the hands of heaven carry me
Carry me home to stay
O Death where is your sting
Your tears and your tremblings
His peace is lingering
Even now
O Grave the battle's fought (no graver battles fought)
Your vict'ry has been lost
To Christ who gave it all
To take me now
There is a part of me
That's only visiting
Torn from eternity
A stranger here
The awkward mingling of
The loveless and beloved
So far from things above
While I am here
