I don't know a lot of hymns apparently

[cornerofmadness]

Mom and I went to my aunt's place to help with the funeral arrangements. I ended up taking over (by request) the selection of hymns and readings. I knew two. I have never seen these hymns. Weird. It also looks like I'll have to give one of the readings.

Today they also declined my MRI again in spite of the insurance saying a bad nerve conduction test would count. I hate medical mutual.

Let me tell you a little bit about the gem festival. It's technically gem and craft show at the local greenhouse/farmers' market. They had a ton of vendors. I did find a few things at the craft vendors as gifts. As for the gems, Mom got a really cool carved bird, a serpetina heart and a few others smaller stones. I got a bunch of small stones (also for gifts) and then I got a pendant. (which now I suppose will remind me of my uncle's passing) It's moonstone, amber, pearl and smoky quartz

Hymns that could be appropriate for funerals - all these are Christian although some are more Catholic than others - Blessed Assurance, Amazing Grace, Be Not Afraid, I'll Fly Away (although that might be too upbeat), Ten Thousand Reasons (Bless the Lord).

Of course if your aunt knows a favorite hymn of his, use that. Good luck with it and I'm sorry for your loss.

I hope someone sees reason with regards to your MRI.

unfortunately you had to pick from their list. Amazing grace was one of the two I knew (and pi cked) No one in the immediate family has a favorite hymn

Oh they'll see reason when I go thru the PT that won't work since it's a nerve issue but at this point frak them. I'll waste all the money they want to waste on it
