Wake

went to a wake just now,
seems like all Christian wakes uses Ps 23 as the titled verse

If you have a choice, which verse would you use?

Rejoice In the Lord always?
Bless the Lord oh my soul?

ever wondered why's a wake called a wake?
read a kid story about it but cant find it le.

I guess it must be that, the first ever wake held was for some rich person.
As he/she was very famous, the funeral ceremonial took a long time, lots of people came to take a last look at him/her.
and you know the story, before he/she was buried, he/she wake up from the death.
Thats why people call it a wake. In the hopes that the person will "Wake" up from the dead.

:D

*lame*

Be Bless!
Love,
