Samantha's Friend Mikey lost his mother the other day, she had a heart attack at the young age of 43. Samantha will be going to her funeral today to pay her respects to him and his family. We seen a friend of theirs (Sam & Mikey) and asked him if he was going to the funeral and he said he wasn't invited, it struck me as an odd comment. INVITED, I don't think people are usually invited to a funeral its something that we do to show our respect and compassion to the loved ones family. We show our COMPASSION on our selves that day knowing that at anytime and at any moment we too may die or lose a family member or a friend. When Christ died on the cross was anyone invited to morn over him? No, but his followers were there for him and they showed their compassion and love for him. Just as we should do for our own family and friends.
I have often through the years picked up the Bible with the intension of reading it from beginning til the end and I hate to say that I have failed so many times. I set a goal for myself to start reading again, not to rush through it to say I too have read the full Bible but to gradually read and understand it. It took my 3 days to get through Genesis and I struggled but I did it and I am proud of myself.

Good post. Sorry for yours and Sam's loss. I've never read the Bible straight through... I'm sure it would be a good discipline though. Some people have told me they do it every year. Wow! Take care.
