Umm...I just looked over at the DU (at the suggestion of some posters here) and I must say that this it is unbelievable how hate-filled they are over there. It is appalling. Anyway, I thought the Dems were for tolerance.

We received an email from Falwell...(we're on his mailing list)...the other day....

..with the news of a pastor's homecoming-(death)-..

....a pastor who ordained and mentored him.

We didn't realize, till we read the letter, that this was our pastor....years ago....who married my husband and I.

Falwell had great respect for him....

..and I have great respect for Jerry Falwell.

The Reagan era ushered in stalwarts of the Faith...

Falwell, D.James Kennedy, James Dobson...

..all long in years, and failing in health.

May God have mercy if there are no heroes of the Faith left....

..we are/were blessed to have these men leading the charge.

He’s in Heaven and DU is reveling in it.

I’d say it is a good day for Jerry. No more pain. No more tribulation. Just standing before the Lord hearing “Well done”.

Prayers for his family and university though.

To: I want to know

He’s been a pretty divisive figure even in Lynchburg—he’s not universally loved in the city. I’ve not always agreed with some of the ways he did things at Thomas Road Baptist Church as a televangelist, and he managed to run LU into some serious financial trouble in the 1980s, as they expanded too rapidly. But you can’t doubt the man’s faith in God and his zeal for preaching the Gospel.

He’s home now, and my more-or-less hometown’s lost its most famous son.
