Just heard this:

Kenny Rogers: Country music legend dies aged 81

A family representative said he “passed away peacefully at home from natural causes”.

Rogers topped pop and country charts during the 1970s and 1980s, and won three Grammy awards.

Known for his husky voice and ballads including The Gambler, Lucille and Coward Of The County, his career spanned more than six decades.

The Gambler – Kenny Rogers.  RIP.

in 2007 he unexpectedly found himself back in the limelight in the UK when The Gambler became the unofficial World Cup anthem of England's Rugby Team.

The song became so popular that during his 2013 Glastonbury Festival legends slot Rogers played it twice.

''When Tomorrow Starts Without Me'' by David M. Romano

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

and said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had

If I could re-live yesterday
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne.

He said, “This is eternity,
And all I've promised you.”
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same
There's no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

A hero in the eyes of his country even before Covid struck he became a name everyone around the world knew because of Covid.  Ironic that the virus he had put so much effort into defeating was, in the end, what defeated him.  May God welcome him home with as much glory as we send him off in and may he rest in peace knowing he was valued.

Mary, Queen of Scots

[img]https://i.imgur.com/UNBdxbR.jpg?1[/img]

Born: December 8, 1542
Birthplace: Linlithgow, Scotland

Died: February 8, 1587 (aged 44)
Cause of Death: Decapitation

Queen regnant of Scotland from 14 December 1542 to 24 July 1567 Princess Mary ascended to the throne on the death of her father, King James V, despite being only 6 days old.

Raised at the French court, Mary grew to be over 6 feet. She married the French dauphin Francis II aged 16, becoming queen of both countries. After Francis' early death Mary returned to Scotland in 1651 as a Catholic regent in a Protestant country.

Her relationship to her cousin Elizabeth I of England began cordially with the two exchanging correspondence. Mary's second and third marriages to men who sought greater power soured their relationship and Mary's with the Scottish people. Mary was arrested in 1567 and forced to abdicate in favor of her infant son the future James VI of Scotland and James I of England.

Mary famously escaped her capture a year later, only to be imprisoned in England on her arrival. She then lived under house arrest for 18 years before Elizabeth ordered her execution in 1587.

I had the honor, and sincere privilege of having a lunch that lasted till dinner with Mary.  The world has lost a special light today.  I am heartbroken.  I will miss the sound of her laughter always.

May the Lord welcome her home and may she Rest In Peace.
