It is my understanding that Senator Byrd has professed with his mouth in prayer meetings within the United States Senate that Jesus is indeed His Lord, and I note his Memorial Day Commentary (which is quite good) especially this passage:

"As our [emphasis mine, mkj] Lord Jesus Christ said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
...This Memorial Day, let us give thanks for the servicemen and women who stand in harm’s way all around the globe.
...Like the four Chaplains, these brave Americans are ready to sacrifice their lives for others and for the freedoms we enjoy.

I submit that if Senator Byrd had any reluctance about the Presence of Christ in his life, he would have said "As the Lord Jesus Christ said..." not "As OUR Lord Jesus Christ said..."

Jesus said, "Whosoever confesseth me before men, I will confess before the Father", and that's good enough for me.

In the past, I have been among the most rabid and vicious posters when it came to the subject of Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, but that time is past now.

I will make no further negative comments regarding the Senator from this point forward, I wish him Godspeed and a quick recovery, and pray for the Lord Jesus to illuminate his thinking, grant him peace and serenity, and use him as an instrument of God's Will.

Quite frankly, I would rather see Senator Byrd in the White House right now, as compared to the Kenyan Usurper.
