"What Are They Doing In Heaven Today" Bishop Ron Hall

Post by Bishop Ronnie P Hall »

To all of our forum members who have lost their precious loved ones, I would like to comfort, and encourage you with this song.
Donna, if I am out of place in offering this memory here, please feel free to do what ever needs to be done. There is no offense intended, or felt. Every so often, a spirit of heaviness, comes to yours truly also.
With warmest of respect.
Bishop Ronnie P. Hall

Bishop Ronnie that was a very nice thing to do. Now what they are all doing in heaven is playing There Steel Guitars and the country singers are singing ot the music.Knowing my good friends Ray Walker, Eddie Cunningham, Gene Hinton,Ralph Paulin, and John Jiacovelli they may be leading the whole Show up there.

Yes. Quite right. And if one uses "there", "their", and "they're" correctly, everyone understands the meaning without having to figure it out. ;)

Hi Jerry Van Hoose,
I am thankful, and I trust, that all who hear this rendition is comforted by it`s intent, because to lose one`s loved one, can be a very difficult thing to manage, when your life is changed, so unexpectedly, or as the time progresses with an expected end. I`m sure the thought comes to mind, "I wonder what they are doing in heaven today?". I sincerely hope this song comforts them along the way. May the Lord continue to smile, on you, and your loved ones as well Jerry,
Bishop Ron

Hi Dave!(Potter) :)
Thanks for the encouragement to brother Sam`s error in composition. But, I must also say, that all of us, misspell(smile)now, and then, when we are excited, or in a rush, tired, or even because of our age, and stage of life. We are "all" bound to make a grammatical error, now and then. But, as you pointed out, sooner or later, we will figure it all out.
Thanks Sam, Dave, and all of our forum members for your encouragement, It means a great deal to this "Old Man"! Love you all!

Hello Donna! :D
Thank you so much for your compliment, and for the opportunity to share a word of comfort, to all of our beloved forum members who have suffered a great loss of family, and friends, that are dear to their hearts. As you can see in the video, I too had to bear such a loss. The song was one of my Mom, and Dad`s salute to all, who had lost their loved ones, and yes, it is from my heart. That`s why our kindred hearts can be felt as it is. Thanks again, please keep up your beautiful work. It is much needed! God be with you, and your loved one`s.
Sincerely,
Bishop Ron

Thurston! :D (Myers)
How glad I am to hear from you! I`m so thankful that all is well with you my friend. I`m also truly thankful, that this video memory has helped to lift up your spirit, as we take this short journey down memory lane. I`m sure, your "sweety" is smiling about now, and she is probably saying," Don't fret Thurston, all of our days will come, and we all, will be together, and what a time, what a time, what a time!" Until then my dear brother, and friend, keep the faith. Be blessed!
