CROSSING THE BAR He was Born July 9, 1970. Keith was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Midkiff. He departed from us on January 28, 1984. Sunset and evening star. And one clear call for me; and may there by on moaning of the bar when I put out to sea. For such a tide as moving seems asleep. Too full for sound or fanm. And when that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twlight and evening bell, And after that the dark; And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For though from out our bourne of time And place. The flood may bear me Far, I hope to see my pliot, face to face, When 1 have crossed the Bar. The Reality of My Ministry And Life I asked God for strength that I might achieve I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for help that I might do -greater things I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. 1 asked for riches, that 1 might be wise, 1 asked for power, that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God. 1 asked for all things, that 1 might enjoy life, 1 was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayer were answered. I am among all men, most richly blessed!
