When I Get Where I'm Going

Last week, my son lost his mentor. His football coach, who was more than just a coach to him, passed away suddenly. He was his friend, confidant and a second father to him. Dylan spent just as much time at Coach Joe's house as he did here....maybe more:-) They were so close, that Dylan's name (along with 3 other football players) was listed in his obituary.

They had the memorial last Thursday. It was held at the football field. While I never got to know Coach Joe that well; I went along with my daughters. (Dylan was actually part of the service.) The football stand were packed with our local community. During the entire service all you could hear was sniffles and sobs. I was so in awe at what everyone said about this man....and man I hardly knew. It made me sad that I didn't know him that well. But I also learned so much about him and some of his views that I came away from the service with a new outlook on several aspects of my own life.

The officiating pastor sang this Brad Paisley song. Not a dry eye in the house....it was simply AMAZING.

RIP COACH JOE.......

When I Get Where I'm Going

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain


Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.

Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going
