I remember this cemetery I used to drive by years ago in the area where I used to live. I noticed that there was this ornate marble chair like a throne in the midst of the gravesites. And I thought about Christ coming to raise his believers, living and dead. Many have a dread of the grave, but this warmed my heart knowing that we will soon meet the Lord and be with him for eternity. Phil :bible Phil, I have long been fascinated with humanities fascination with graveyards. We spend grotesque amounts of money on the unnecessary frivolities of the ceremony of burial. I am one of those strange individuals that enjoys walking through a graveyard to read the head stones. The older the graveyard the better. What is a really cool thought for me is to see the dead in Christ rise and then up I go too :yahoo: Oh, goodness Tammie! We are definitely kindred spirits in that regard! In the village of Stone Mountain Georgia is a veeeeery old grave yard that I have walked though numerous times. Just fascinating to read the headstones. Here at the University of Georgia we have an old grave yard that I’ve been though numerous times as well. Yea Tammie, there is too much spent on funerals and graves. But I think it is somehow meant to help make the bereaved feel better. Every time I pass by a cemetery I think, and often say aloud, one day that is going to be the site of a great miracle. And…. I smile.
