I didn't know this lady, but I wish I had...and I like McGee's Dad already. Humor has a much bigger place in Christianity than it's usually given.

Ruth McGee 1925-2003. Mom passed away last week. I've gone back and forth over whether to post something here or not. What finally tipped it was this write up from yesterday's memorial service that my Dad put together.

Thank you all for coming today and thank you all for your loving care and support. Ruth is delighted.

She firmly believed that we are all created in the image and likeness of Christ so she was convinced that He too was a collector (pack-rat?) of memorabilia (Crayola art, cards, pictures, "Good" report cards, awards, diplomas, knick-knacks, various "can't live without" items from her many travels, etc.). As a result she believed her first assignment would be to clean out all His closets and storage spaces before she could set up bridge games and our rooms. So if you see muddy rain and hear noisy thunder don't be surprised. It's Ruth organizing the clean-up crews. Wear a hard hat. The hail may be rather heavy and odd-shaped.

Thank you again for everything and listen for her infectious laugh.

So now you have a sense for where my occasionally off-center perspective comes from. We're all doing ok. And my hard hat is close at hand.

[McGee's Musings]
