Funerals

Today I attended my Grandfathers Funeral, he lived for 99 years, and he was a character. He had a sense of humor and always had something funny to talk about. I was very dis-appointed with the service today, the preachers that were doing his service really got to me. They didn’t talk about my Grandfather except in the very beginning, just a couple of words was it. Then it got off into old baptist preaching, it was more like an alter calling going on instead of a celebration of my Grandfathers life. I don’t know who made the decision on the preacher selection and their style but to me it was completely in-appropriate. I will not fault anyone for this but maybe it was just me. Whatever the case I knew my Grandfather well and he is with our maker and I will see him again.
