:-\ My daughter was on the campus of Liberty University the day Jerry Fallwell died. He was found in his office....my daughter called me right away looking for some comfort from ol' mom....she said everyone was so incredibly sad on campus, walking around with a look of confusion on their faces, as she put it....this happened only weeks after the terrible tragedy at VA Tech....my daughter informed me that many of the students at Liberty had friends at VA Tech and some of them had been killed....
great sorrow had swept over a place where normally there is great optimism and hope and excitement...
I cannot help but feel sorrow for his passing...but I am not overwhelmed by it...I know that he taught lies, okay...I know that he led others to believe those lies, okay...so I asked God to show me why I was still feeling sorrow?....
and then I thought of Jesus sitting on a hill, gazing at Jerusalem....
crying for her.
I think, maybe, that is why.
In the end....it will be good to finally be reconciled with Jerry, and my relatives, and all of God's children. I look forward to that new heavens and new earth....when all this sorrow is once and for all turned into joy!
just my thoughts.
