That may have been an awkward moment in what otherwise was a stirring funeral.

Reagan timed it perfectly with the setting sun. The use of Battle Hymn of the Republic as a dirge in DC, then as a spiritual at the National Cathedral, and finally as an inspirational march at the interment (go halfway to the 5:40 mark) was quite a moving theme throughout.

The Reagan Library is a beautiful place.

The music was indeed beautiful. There was a musical interlude without lyrics that moved me immensely, and I imagine did so to other Christians who knew the unsung lyrics. They played "Softly and Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling", in which the chorus lyric is "Calling, 'O sinner, come home.'" That was followed by the tune to "Just As I Am", whose chorus lyric is "O Lamb of God, I come, I come!"

I'm breaking up thinking of it.

“The Reagan Library is a beautiful place.”

It is - it is the only thing I will miss about leaving mexifornia.

It was always bittersweet going there - all the good Reagan did has been destroyed and I have a hard time having his endless optimism for this country.
