Thank you Goldfinch60.
An incredible poem.
Things were much better in the past when we truly used our mind and imagination before the advent of technology that has made us lazy at times.
Keep writing

Thanks ANDY ~ for a sad Poem today ~ but a sadness tinged with JOY we can all share as we share and care for our loved ones with limited communication and nearing Heaven\'s Door. They all know we love them and sometimes surprise us by what they say ! Memory extends beyond the GRAVE so our love will never die. For those of us who have \"Assurance of Salvation\" we surely know we will be reunited in the Glory when all physical & mental imperfections will be swept away ~when our Mortal shall be clothed with Immortality ~ AMEN !

In a similar vein, I\'m not with a certain church at present, but why, when they had special prayer times for a person with the \'c\' word, did the person later pass away? Really, we can only say \'Don\'t know why\'.

Andy,
Reading your write has brought to mind so many examples of things gone wrong that I’ve witnessed because of technology when I was still teaching...using a “smart board”! Well many times when it’d malfunction, it wasn’t so smart!
I enjoyed the read and listening to Queen!

Hey Andy - OMG - it\'s even hit church........ I retired in the nick of time .... they were making work impossible with \"technical improvements\"..... and just for funny..... my doctor missed telling me I had a touch of anemia because they had \"changed systems\" and he couldn\'t access my information as he was talking to me (with the screen at his side). Perhaps this is why the kids are going back to vinyl records.... they are just longing for simpler days..

I can just visualise the scene and the irony of it even though I haven\'t witnessed technology in church - mind you I haven\'t attended a service in church (apart from funerals and marriages) for over 50 years.

Well at least you dont have a public address system attached to the steeple and employ somebody to chant a horrible sounding monologue through it at certain times of day - as happens in parts of the world.
I\'m sure there was enough goodwill in your church on this occasion to generate a lot of smiles and understanding. Maybe a small test from above, a lesson perhaps.

We had an infant Baptism. Sometimes causes a pantomime, and terrifying if the child is held over the font. Thankfully it went well, and the priest also kissed the baby in an \'ahh\' moment!

Doh! if having hymn books, there\'s a fiendish trick - do we \'omit the starred verses\' or not? The trick is that the service leader does not tell us, and only the choir know. They don\'t tell us either - leading to complete confusion and garbled words. We\'re not all singing from the same sheet (or verses rather)!
One choir I knew was a bit like the Mafia - sing what WE want, or else....! \'The Firm\' who controlled all the songs.

Andy,
A beautiful and inspirational write! The more I read your writings, the better I feel about life in general! Just today, my husband and I were talking about the same subject! We are at a place in our lives where we’re re-evaluating and appreciating our years together! Our children are doing well and we’re very thankful for their successes! If we were to leave this earth today, we’d be fine with that!
Thank you for your daily share! I always look forward to them!
