Losing Icons

[cordie]

As you are all aware we have lost quite a few people from the world of entertainment & people prominent in the culture-be it journalism, authors, etc. This week of Christmas I found enormously difficult with the passing of both Carrie Fisher & her mom Debbie Reynolds. I've met both & I found them to be very genuine & genuinely funny. Laughter is the best medicine. I can't say I'm laughing this week-they left us too soon. It always brings me to the point of why do bad things happen to good ordinary people. If there is a minister out there in the forum, I could sure use some help with this. They're gone forever & that is the part of passing on that I don't comprehend very well. I mean it's not like God calls you up & you take an elevator to the 29th floor. It is too painful for the living.

It is extremely awkward here, and in any place would usually take a few years to come to grips with these sort of things in line with YHWH'S WORD (THE BIBLE) , PLAN, and PURPOSE in Y'SHUA(JESUS).

Reading the PSALMS is WONDERFUL for PEACE , JOY, and RECOVERING , (and has a lot of ups and downs similar to what we go through) ,
and is very common for singing and praying and learning and being encouraged in life's difficult moments (which are frequent, btw).

I had a great Aunt who died one day after her daughter died,she was 96 and her daughter was about 63,they were trying to figure out how to tell her and she died that morning and never knew about it.....they died less than 14 hours apart.
