My Pastor....

[162]

Last friday, the pastor of my church died.

He was only fifty years old, and one of the nicest people ever to live. On the night he died, I was driving home from work and took a route that went past his house. I saw the ambulance there and new it wasn't good...

The visitation's today, but I just can't go to it...(I've had enough of funerals as it is.) I guess I just want to give my moral support from the web.

Pastor McCrum will truely be missed by all, but I like to think that he's in heaven and meeting my father for the first time. (My father was a member of a different church, and never met the pastor.) Ha, I can imagine how the conversation would go.

(Pastor, a relatively short man, is looking at my father, who was 6 foot five around the time he died.)
Pastor: So...you're 162's father.
Dad: Yes.
Pastor:...You're a lot taller than I thought you'd be...I can see where 162 gets her hair.

Ha ha....

...ha...

My condolences. Heaven welcomes him with open arms.

Re: My Pastor....

He called you 162? Only Gwommy calls me Funk IRL.....

Re: My Pastor....

Ah, no, actually he doesn't. I just didn't want to use my real name. (Don't know why, though.)

The real thing would go like this:

(Pastor, a relatively short man, is looking at my father, who was 6 foot five around the time he died.)
Pastor: So...you're Kera's father.
Dad: Yes.
Pastor:...You're a lot taller than I thought you'd be...I can see where Kera gets her hair.

Re: My Pastor....

Why would you add that goofy blue smiley face icon to a topic about your pastor dying?

[162]

Re: My Pastor....

I don't think it's smiling. (I always thought of it being a government, FBI, secret service kinda guy.)

I use the blue dude in all of my posts. (Y'know to use as a sorta calling card...or mental association....or something...I dunno, I just used it since I was sixteen. I guess it's kinda childish now.)

...Hey Funk, does your grandma really call you Funk IRL, or am I just being gulible again?

Re: My Pastor....

I did not know you were so spiritual.

Re: My Pastor....

Really? Huh, I guess I just take it for granted that people here would get that impression (what with me defending God's existance in those "Is there a God?" threads we have from time to time or saying that pavilionites in troubled times will be in my prayers-which you are)...

But yes, religion is immensly important to me.

Re: My Pastor....

Funk said that Gwommy calls him Funk, not his grandma.

Re: My Pastor....

Wait, "Gwommy" and grandma aren't the same thing? Then what's "Gwommy"? (Another pavilionite?)

Re: My Pastor....

The female presence of the pavilion seems to be misinformed.

Yes, Gwommy is another Pavilionite. He's the guy who loves purple and has a magnificent beard.

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to your Pastor. At least you know he will be in Heaven.

Oh yeah! I remember him! He had that wizard-y moving avatar! (Not to mention has a great taste in color.)

I'm sorry Gwommy. My memory can get pretty shot sometimes. One time, I saw an old classmate from a few semesters back, when I was at the grocery store, didn't realize who he was until a half an hour later.

Thank you so much.

I'm actually kinda worried about his wife. (She's kinda a frail thing.)
