A Pause In What’s To Be

We both worked (FM is now retired) at the same place, a power plant, an electric generating facility with 270 employees. Most everyone was hired about the same time (late 1984 - early 1986) so we have all been together some 24+ years. We are like family. No, we are family. We know each other well, whether we socialize outside of work hours or not (and many do). We work together, solve problems, tease and banter and especially watch out for each other. Many are our neighbors.
We have lost three employees in six weeks. Sudden deaths. No warning. Rod, Burt and Ed. All three dedicated, long term employees. The funeral tomorrow is for #3. Ed.
Last spring we lost two.

Losing an employee has a lasting effect on all of us. We miss them and wish them back.

LIFE IS BUT A STOPPING PLACE

Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be. A resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things but never meant to stay…

Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some, the journeys quicker, for some the journeys slow. And when the journey finally ends, we’ll claim a great reward. And find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.
