A Rich Heritage

It’s a rich heritage… my cousin Jeannene refers to it in her excellent book: From This Rock, as the soundtrack of our lives. It’s an accurate description of how we grew up and more importantly who we grew up with. Some children laughingly say they were “raised by wolves.” Not us. We were raised by giants.

This week we lay Uncle Glen to rest… or more appropriately, we send him home to a great gathering on the other side… No doubt, no worries or fear about his eternity. And while we may not understand much about Heaven, this we know for sure; family is waiting. Jesus has prepared a place for us. I’m confident that a loud and joyous contingent of Denton’s will be ready to welcome Uncle Glen Home. Singing will be part of it all.

Cousins, enjoy this photo of seven of the immediate family; 5 now in Heaven, Dad and Uncle Mark remain with us. The music’s from my ordination service: October, 1989, in Riverside at Central Community. I believe it was the last time the 4 of them sang together in public. I have one other song on my computer- if you want it let me know. I keep them in itunes. The album art is this photo. Album title simply “The Denton Brother’s Quartet.” Where would we have been without them? God is too good.

let's stay in touch,

Eric
