THE STROLL/ By Charlie Sexton This month’s article is taken from my personal journal, dated November 7, 2016. I had just returned from Naomi Sego’s Home Going Celebration in Macon, Georgia: Well, Friends and Neighbors, just sit right on back, and let me tell you a little story about Gospel Music legend, Naomi Sego. I attended her funeral this afternoon. But, this story is about another funeral that occurred about this time of the year, several years ago. One beautiful Fall Sunday morning, I was preparing the morning music set list at the little church where I was Minister of Music. As I was scurrying around trying to get The Mind of Christ for what to sing that morning, an elderly chap came strolling in to our little sanctuary, whistling. His name was Harold. He had been the Minister of Music at the church for about 25 years, but had retired about 25 years before I was hired. He was always very pleasant around me. Never overly kind, but never rude.

As he began to sing the reprise, I worked my way through the audience, shaking hands and hugging necks with those that I loved. All of a sudden, I heard a commotion. The PA system squealed as the mic hit the floor. Several folks start screaming. Harold literally dropped - like a felled tree. Dead before our eyes. Absent from the body. Present with The Lord. Pandemonium ensued for a few minutes. A few First Responders in the church quickly jumped in to Rescue Mode, but to no avail. The Paramedics came, but it was just too late.
