He was a real nice guy. Sad to see him go.

I read a good article on the Daily Wire yesterday about Bryant being Catholic. I was going to post it but forgot.

“One of the last things Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna did before they died in a fatal helicopter crash on Sunday was attend church.”

I would only hope to be so blessed.

Not many parents these days encourage their kids to attend mass. He gets great credit for this.

Going to church doesn’t protect one from tragedy, but it may prepare one for the entrance exam at the Pearly Gates. If Kobe and daughter had it to do over again, they would probably still go to church but might not board that helicopter.

Beautiful News! I never paid any attention to him, not a pro basketball fan... But such a beautiful young girl! Happy to hear they were believers! My heart is with Vanessa and the girls. Rich, poor, famous, unknown, doesn’t matter... this is a terrible time for the family. My mother was a widow for about 13 years then remarried in 2006. He passed away just before Christmas. It was a BLESSING, he was mid 90s, one leg, no teeth, total loss of memory... Big guy over 6 ft tall, mom is under 5 ft tall. She had to have 24 hour help to care for him for many years. Now his death was a blessing to him and to her. But to lose your husband and daughter like Vanessa did, this will take a lifetime to get over....

We lost a child due to a miscarriage before we had our 3 kids, in the 1970s. I will meet Kim Blair in heaven some day!

They also entered God’s Kingdom together.

Here it seems tragic, but there it’s beautiful.

It just occurred to me to wonder: Is the late Kobe Bryant being excoriated all over the internet for attending a church that “hates” LGBTQIA+ persons, or is there something about him that is allowing him to get a pass for what would be “bigotry” worthy of death in someone else?

Hopefully he confessed his sins to God, because doing it any other way ain’t gonna get him through the gates.
