Going to church doesn’t protect one from tragedy, but it may prepare one for the entrance exam at the Pearly Gates. If Kobe and daughter had it to do over again, they would probably still go to church but might not board that helicopter.
Amen! Too bad they took that flight. I am always nervous on flights! So sad.
But blessed to be BELIEVERS!
A song comes to mind...
I can just see Kobe and daughter dancing through the streets of heaven... I heard this at the exact second that our son was telling me about his 80+ pastor CHUCK SMITH passing away, and I could just see him dancing down the streets of heaven....
To Kobe and GiGi...
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Yes, heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I’d love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I’d love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Now, mama, dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
Will carry me through, yes
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
(Sing it Ella, swing it)
[Ella]
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I’d love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Come on and dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through to
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
[Louis & Ella]
Yes, dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
The charm(s) about you
Will carry me through to
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
If they wanted to be more like normal people, they would have gone to Mass and then took the car to the sports facility. Could’ve still been in an accident but folks on the road Sunday that early in the A.M. are usually the better drivers too, Church goers etc.
