Hey, Stephen: How nice to see you. It's been a long time.

I like the Spirit of funerals, or Home-goings in the black churches.
The whole range of emotions is openly expressed, from moaning and crying out to laughter, upbeat music and even dancing in the aisles. All reactions are equally respected. I've sung at a Home-going for the sister-in-law of Frankie in the Gospel Messengers and we got people up and dancing. I have no idea what it will be like today, and that's the beauty of it. It will be whatever people feel.
