    I’m sorry to hear that. May his soul be with the Lord, and prayers for those loved ones left behind.

    Rest in Peace Chuck, you will be remembered for your ministry later in life.

    File this one in the unfortunate quote department: Jim Liske, CEO of Prison Fellowship, told CBS News that Colson continued to meet with top elected officials and leaders but "would rather be in prison embracing an inmate."
To: Kaslin
    This comes as very sad news to all of us who were touched by Mr. Colson’s work. I have been a supporter of his Prison Fellowship ministry for years now. May God Bless him and his family.

May angels lead you into Paradise; 
may the martyrs receive you at your coming
 and lead you to the holy city 
of Jerusalem.
 May a choir of angels receive you,
 and with Lazarus,
 who once was poor,
 may you have eternal rest.

    The MSM get another chance to remind people of the Watergate incident and blame it on all Republicans.
 
To: Kaslin
    Just got the NYT breaking news alert, which links to their story, headlined: 
Charles W. Colson, Watergate Felon Reborn as Evangelical Leader, Dies at 80. 
 Which makes me wonder, how often is John Dean listed as "John Dean, Watergate Felon, [does this/does that]"?

    Fox News had a very similar headline. I was disappointed.

    Colson was such a visible presence for the concept of redemption. May his soul find eternal peace.

They don’t come much lower than John Dean. He’s repulsive.

    A great man, and invaluable in the cause of getting Protestants and Catholics working together for the common good. He will be greatly missed. God bless.

    We have probably all seen the horrible things they said about Whittaker Chambers. He became a Quaker (although he spent a lot of time as a volunteer at various Catholic monasteries) but once he abandoned the left, they flew around like enraged wasps.
If the left can say anything negative about somebody who is a believer, they will. And of course the press will publish it.
