I'll stand with him... and, pray that all is well with him and his family..
God bless Glenn, his health and family. He certainly
gave me the most unexpected and meaningful insight into
details of our history I never knew.

Review of his event in Chicago
Excerpt:
If Thursday night’s mighty strange and thoroughly fascinating show revealed anything, it’s that Beck is moving away from the political arena and toward the religious realm, albeit one of his very singular definition.
The open question is how many of his followers from the Fox News Channel are ready to make the same journey. (The Chicago Theatre was less than half full Thursday, but then Beck was playing a town from which he only half-jokingly suggested that those who stand with him should move.)
Beck, a far smarter man than many realize, clearly knows that it will be a tricky transition, economically and otherwise, and that it will require all his considerable charm and force of personality.
But you sense that Beck now has decided that it must be done. Come hell or high water. He doesn’t want to be a pundit so much as a preacher.
“I had been feeling that a great chance was coming for me” he said, clearly not just referring to his recently announced departure from Fox.
Beck has, he told us, been spending time with the Reverend Billy Graham. In his two-hour show (one hour of Beck yakking, mostly extemporaneously, and one of his mostly taking pre-selected questions from the audience) Beck spoke much of God’s purpose and human sin. Although he did not, tellingly, mention the name Jesus Christ.
“You don’t have a single right,” Beck told a rather perplexed audience clearly very much invested in precisely those privileges of American citizenship. “They belong to him,” he said, pointing skywards. “There is an overarching plan that started with Adam and Eve. We were supposed to be the guardians, but instead we reached for the apple.”
