As my one or two readers know I love geocaching and especially cemetery geocaches. SuperPizzaBoy and I were in far western Oklahoma yesterday on a road trip. We looked for a cache in a little country cemetery literally out in the middle of nowhere. Actually we drove past nowhere to get there. I absolutely love cemeteries, especially old ones. They give me a sense of peace. Like, I’m going to die and the world is going to go on without me, somehow. Strange I know, but still.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We didn’t find the cache, but I didn’t care too much. I found this tombstone. If you will click on picture you can read that it marks the grave of Annie A. Hitt who died in 1917, age 43. I don’t know a thing about her, (but I do know that Hitt is still a common name in that neck of the woods.) (Listen to me, you are going to have to click on the picture to see what I’m talking about, do it, now!!!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Above her name, just barely recognizeable, is the enscription: “In my Father’s House are Many Mansions.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Look just above that and you can just barely make out a big multi-turreted mansion. Boy, that’s strange, what you hear mostly is “rooms” not “mansions”. I checked the King James version and sure enough it says “mansions.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I’m not too interested in the original Greek and blah, blah, blah about true meaning of this and that. All I know is I always liked the “rooms” version, but the “mansions” almost stopped my heart. I love it also! I love both of them and lay claim to both versions! So here is is my verse:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”  John 14:2  (KJV)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like I said, I don’t know a thing about Annie A. Hitt, but she almost stopped my heart 92 years after her heart stopped. I don’t know if anybody from her family remembers her, but I’ll remember her for quite a while.<\/div>\n
