They say such nice things about people
at their funerals that it makes me sad to
realize that I'm going to miss mine by
just a few days.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

I'm just going to hold my funeral early.
LOL. Dave Eggers has a story about a guy that holds his funeral early in his collection of short stories, "How We Are Hungry". I highly reccomend! -Lowen
i like this one. people do take on saint status only after they die.
first of all...
i love prairie home companion!
second of all....
this is so funny
linnea,
your dad's voice has always reminded me of garrison keilor's. it's pleasant to listen to, and great for telling stories.
funerals are all about giving glory to God and not about the person--that's what wise old Rose Beal said--she was a grandmother to me at church and died while i was at Covenant--she said "all about Jeus at my funeral and nothing about Rose Beal"--but that is not how it went down--500 people came to admire and remember her
I want them to throw a party and laugh. Because I love to laugh.
This painting was used on the Crosby Show, in the living room.
bingo bob!
I meant the cosby show not bing{o}crosby.
good, cause I was totally confused.
