So, have you ever wondered how many worldviews can be packed into one funeral? Well, let's start off with a pew of Calvinists and a Lutheran pastor. Then, add into the mix the fact that the pastor changes words in the service... i.e. "God, who loves His people" was changed to "God, who loves all people"...
So that was bad.
Did I mention that before the service were conversations about how "she isn't really dead, she's here with us?"
OK... and then there was certainly NO mention of heaven vs. hell, just a vague kind of happy place where we will all be forever... and you can just have fun there...
But then, in contradiction of all other views there, a poem was read at the graveside about "I am not dead, I am the voice of the wind, and I am in the flowers..." 
Arg.
On a completely different subject... I got to see the ocean! It was awesomely cool!
And Bible Quizzing is starting back up!

So I will have a lot of quotes for ya'll, but it was weird. *sigh*
But hey! I'm home! And I'm wearing my wonderful swooshy skirt!
One funny story...
Hyarion: *is eating dessert* *notices gnat on plate* *points it out to Uncle Ken*
Uncle Ken: *squashes gnat* *ON his plate* *rubs guts around* *ON his plate*
Hyarion: 
Uncle Ken: *does not notice*
Hyarion: Uh, I think I'm done.
Mom: *finishes Hyarion's pie for him*
Now Ataralasse and Elpinoine missed the entire thing, so I had to tell them the story yesterday. By the time that I told it to them, even Hyarion was finding it amusing. But he explained what he thought was SOOOO gross... and no, it wasn't the gnat itself getting squished on his plate... it was the fact that there was still a gnat-leg on his plate.
Ugh.
Well, with that cheery thought I shall leave you.
*sniff*
I'm not sniffing because I'm saying goodnight, I'm sniffing because I have a cold!
My gracious!!
