We were requested, as BGEA Chaplains, to attend the funeral today of a 10 year little boy, who was a member of the host church, First Assembly of God, Minot, ND. The little boy was killed riding a 4 wheeler and ran into a barbed wire fence. His little sister found him. The mother is a single mom. The little boy, Joshua, and the other children were visiting their father in Canada, when this accident happened. Joshua loved westerns, his favorite tv show being Bonanza. The family was all dressed in western attire and a cowboy hat and his little cowboy boots were on the casket. The celebration of Josh going to heaven was presented in video, showing his youthful antics as well as his baptism this past year. The service was full of his favorite praise songs and Jesus Loves Me. As the service ended and the casket started to be rolled out and as the family followed, the theme song of Bonanza was played, as if little Josh was riding off into the sunset......to meet Jesus...
