"5.12.26 I had a dream that I was with my former church members in a car and we were on our way to Bishops funeral. (My former Bishop just passed on February 18, 2026 and his birthday was May 23, 1951). My former Missionary Margo was very present in this dream. She was in the back of a car talking to one of her associates I assume she and the person was associated with Bishop and they were on their way to the funeral). Everyone was in good spirits. I remember some of us where in a small vestibule forming a semi circle, I believe we where getting together to either pray or sing. Margo was standing with a couple of us officials and then she fainted (This is Margos character for attention). I rushed to minister to her and then she jumped up and she was fine. When asked what happened, Margo brushed it off as if nothing was wrong with her. I remember sitting in a car with some mourners getting ready to go inside the church for Bishops funeral and as I was talking to one of Margos friends I saw something like a hearst go by with Bishops body in it and I saw that he was waving one hand. I was shocked so I told the people in the car what I saw and they didn't believe me. Someone said maybe I saw a handkerchief or something else waving. I saw the hearst again and this time I saw 2 hands waving. Now I am in a small place where the funeral will be held and When they bring Bishops body into the sanctuary they pronounce that he is still alive and they sit him up on the altar while he is slowly trying to breathe. I tell (blind) pastor Corey what has transpired and he begins to cry while we all are in disbelief. (My alarm went off this morning to a worship song by Wess Morgan singing "I chose to Worship") "
