Singer B.J. Thomas just passed away from lung cancer.  I fondly remember this #1 hit “Raindrops keep fallin' on my head” and whenever the neighborhood kids had a singing contest … I ALWAYS picked this song. :whistle:

Someone mentioned he got saved!  His bio says “Earlier in his life he became dependent on drugs and alcohol, which led to his marriage nearly ending. On January 28, 1976, Thomas became a Christian, less than a month after Gloria (his wife) did. Most press sources indicated that Thomas had been sober since he and Gloria reconciled in 1976.”

Someone posted … “I remember him singing Christian songs and hearing his testimony way back in the 1980s.

Another brother-in-Christ, Gavin MacLeod, who played Captain Stubing on The Love Boat TV show, has also gone on to be with the Lord.”

- Fair Use -

Well I don’t expect B.J. Thomas to sing “Rain Drops keep falling on my head” in heaven since it will ALWAYS be sunny. B-)  But in the millennium period … I think there will be rain. :whistle:

I also liked Gavin MacLeod from The Love Boat.  I used to hear him and his wife on the Christian radio back in the late 1990’s advertising/promoting financing the Russian Jews so they can make Aliyah to Israel.

I wonder if there will be cruise ship rides in the Millennium?  Perhaps he will be the captain of one of the cruise lines and B.J. Thomas will be singing on board? :mdrmdr:

I fondly remember the song Raindrops keep falling on my head and some of the lyrics are appropriate for us while we are watching...

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me, cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me, cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
Nothing's worrying me
Nothing's worrying me

Ultimately nothing should worry us while we wait, for as Paul said "to live is Christ, to die is gain" and hopefully very soon we who are alive and remain will be outta here :yahoo:

and I loved the Love Boat!! I watched it and traveled to magical places vicariously through the show.....can you just imagine how much more exciting, magical, beautiful, wonderful and joyful that Heaven will be in comparison to even this?!?!

It's June.....great month for a wedding!! :flyup:

Great month for a wedding, indeed!  Works for me!  Makes sense that a Bride would know the month of her wedding!
