Laid to rest the patriarch of our congregation yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery. It's always impressive to go there, but even more yesterday as Roy received full honors . . . and a little more! For usually, cannon blasts are reserved for generals. But Roy got them yesterday for they were practicing at the time we were processing into the cemetery. :-)
Roy's in one of the older sections, and has an old grave marker, before they changed them to be all uniform. Rest in peace, Roy. See you soon.
At Arlington, time limitations are severe. There are so many funerals there you don't get much time. Here is the brief meditation I preached for him yesterday.
