Kudos to Robert Parham for having a site that traffics in Essays as sublime as this one.
And congrats to Joe Phelps, a better than average Baptist Preacher in Louisville, Ky.
Grandmother Mary Alice Helton Fox's Brother Uncle Herman, a Church of God Preacher said it another way about 9 years ago at the Helton Reunion at the Walden's Creek United Methodist Church about 7 miles Southeast of Pigeon Forge Tn.
He said the group gone on, most recently Billy (My Dad) is growing larger every year to the point they outnumber us left behind. And every day I yearn stronger to join them on the Other Shore.
And about 15 years before that I remember hearing his oldest brother Henry, talk about his remembrance back to 1910 when a Rebel Confederate Soldier had them marching out on the lawn.
He pointed out the window to an ever growing cemetery--see Ron Rash's Sunday August 1959.
As Papa Fox used to sing
There's a Grand and Glorious Thought that comes to Me
I'll live On, Yes I'll Live On.
And so we will as even now the great American Novelist that wrote of things foreign--otoh see Cormac McCarthy-- to most of the polite discussion at Walden's Creek, even John Updike has joined the Celestial Chorus.
