lol..... They understand that is just kid-ball and not the Chiefs!
Hey, I read through that article about if those in heaven are sad about loved one that are in hell. Then I continued on to other links. Man, does that get deep. You could go on for hours about these types of questions?
Yup. It gets pretty deep. In fact, I am still writing my book about science and God and it gets deep in some places. Exploring the infinite cosmos takes you to some interesting and far off places.
Mike, haven't heard from you in a while? What's going on? I'm heading out for a cross country trip up to Washington state for about a month. Doing a 10 day hike around Mt. Rainer while up there. Wanting to stop off at Yellowstone and Glacier National park, maybe even venture up to Canada's Prince Edwards Island. Not sure. Have no plans except the hike, playing the rest by ear...
Interesting fact about Nepal we just discovered. Liz and I was talking the other day about cremation. In the old days she wanted to be buried, but now she wants to be cremated. So I was online goofing off trying to find fun and exciting different ways to be cremated. That made me wonder if you can even be cremated in Nepal, so I decided to look it up....
I found that there are two traditional ways for a funeral in Nepal. 1) This is in fact a cremation. Evidently we take your body to the river back, dunk it three times, then throw you up on a pile of big wood right on the river bank and burn you. Then we bathe in the river while you burn to cleanse our spirit. Afterwards we gather up your ashes, put them in an urn and have a party at the end of the year. Okay, kinda standard. A little labor intensive, but I guess you do get to cool off in the river a little.
2) The second method if a little more crazy and I couldn't find a family member to help out, so hopefully you do not want a "sky burial"?!?!? Evidently we chop you body up into small bits and take them to scared places to feed the vultures. They don't want to see your body rot and think it's better to feed the animal. Try as I might, none of the kids wanted to be known as the "Uncle Chopper". For some reason they don't teach this certain skill-set in our public school here in the USA? And what happens if the vultures drop a piece? Then we have to gather Uncle Mike from all over the country. And then what happens if a lowly dog eats a piece of uncle Mike? Will that mean he comes back as a puppy? So many questions...... You'll have to research this for me.
As for us, I think we will stick to the good old fashion cremation here. Not sure I can talk the fam into going into the mountains and feeding me to the bears where I like to hike...lol...
