Funeral Fun

I got asked for the first time ever today to officiate a funeral. This is something I've often figured would one day happen, but I was a little surprised that it came so soon in my residency. So needless to say, I get to do my first funeral on Thursday, so if you have any experience or suggestions I'm more than willing to hear about them as I prepare.

My other big question of the night is how do you capture music in a picture? I've been listening to the song "loving a person" by Sara Groves as I'm preparing to lead my morning reflection time with the spiritual care staff on Thursday and I cannot for the life of me think of a way to capture this experience and the feelings this song brings with my camera. But here's the best thing I've come up with thus far, but again I'm open for ideas.


To explain the picture a bit, the pictures in the picture are kind of self explanatory - our wedding photo and our undergrad pictures. The stones we have collected on some of our travels together, and the pocket watch is what I gave Josh on our wedding day, and engraved on it is our wedding date and the words "forever and ever, Amen. "
