We arrived in Davis late Wednesday night. Yesterday was day of seeing Dad and the gathering family at Tom's home in Elk Grove. While we did all that, Miles bonded with Michael, 11 year old son of Joe. We are staying at Joe's childhood home, with Joe, his son, Mom, sister and brother in law. Their home is next door to my childhood home, and this family is like a second family to me. The only one missing from their family is Ben, my buddy for all those growing up years.
Today is the day of Mom's service of committal - the graveside service committing her body to its final resting place - in sure and certain hope of resurrection to life eternal, as the service says. It is a brief service - no more than about 9 minutes - attended, in this case, only by family. We'll spend much of the remainder of the day at Tom and Lorie's home. Lorie, incidentally, seems to be recovering well from her eye surgery.
Tomorrow is the Memorial Service at University Covenant Church, the ministry founded by my parents and 4 other couples in the early 1960s.
Have you heard of neurotheology? A fascinating piece about experiencing God, from the pages of USA Today. I was particularly impressed with the analogy of the brain as a CD player or a Radio.
