9/7/2021 JOURNEY TO HOME (published 9/8/2021)

Introduction

Yesterday was Tuesday, 9/7/2021. The day was mundane for most folks, including Mrs. Appalachian Irishman and me.

At a moment, in a blink of an eye, the mundane can change. I write this brief article today to honor a good Christian lady, who went Home yesterday.

9/7/2021 Tuesday

I was in my mundane world of working for a living at home. I did so today. I'll drive to and from the “Hadean Realm” office the next two days to do the same work, unless something changes.

I saw a text on my semi-intelligent cell phone. It was a sad text. A dear friend told me that her mother had passed on from the temporal to the everlasting that day.

I remember this good Christian lady and her fine family from about 1981 to 1984. The fond memories are in the archives of my concussion-recovered mind. I will not share them here. Those who read this article and understand will remember.

My sister in Christ was 81 years old when she went Home. She had endured temporal health trouble for a while. She is now released from those troubles! She is at Home!

This dear lady has joined many others, who have already gone Home! I see, by my eyes of faith, the everlasting reunion that she is having now! It must be wonderful!

I wish that the Good Lord would even now, as I am writing, call everyone “out of the pool!” I pause. Nope. The Good Lord didn't do so yet. Many others and I will keep waiting in faith. Our faith rests on valid proof. It is not blind faith. I know. I can prove it.

I wish that I had been able, or had taken the time, to see my sister in Christ before she went Home. She was living not too far from us. I'll blame my failure on the mundane realities of this temporal realm, which include my “bionic” life.

Conclusion

I have to get this article off my mind and into print! Yesterday, I had called my friend and sister in Christ. I know the details about her mother, also my sister in Christ, who went Home yesterday. We had a good conversation. Our temporal sorrow was overcome by everlasting joy!

Drafts of articles about “poly-ticks” and Georgia college football were on my mind. I plan to publish them eventually. Those articles are temporally “the good, bad, and ugly” in the context of the realities of this speck of dust and temporal life.

Are you ready, dear reader, to join my sister in Christ and so many others at Home? I hope so. If you are not, and if you would like me to help you, please email me! My e-mail address is in my profile.
