Tennessee Weekend Postponed
Well it is Thursday afternoon and our trip home to Tennessee has been postponed. We got a phone call on Saturday to let us know that Jon's mom had emergency surgery on Saturday morning. Jon flew up on Saturday to Chicago.Well it wasn't good. She was in a drug induced coma until Monday, the hospital changed her sedative and she was a little coherent. Jon was actually able to talk to her. We got another call yesterday. ( Wednesday) She passed away. Cindy flew out today with the boys. Jon's boss told her that her ticket was taken care of and not to worry about anything. She was to be packed and ready to go this morning, they were going to send someone to take them to the airport. We will see them on Saturday. John (Jim's brother) will be flying out tomorrow from Nashville and we will take him back to the airport Saturday night after the service is over with.
I have never been to a non-Christian funeral. I have also never been to a cremation ceremony. It will be an education. I was raised in the church and do not have any qualms about believing in God and Jesus. If others have their own beliefs then so be it. I am not going to push my religion on someone else. I just feel really sorry for them because they won't be going to heaven. I can look around and see what God has made and I do believe that Jesus died for our sins. I don't think I want to know what happens to people that are not Christians.
