Last summer, the rain fell gently while I sat on my back deck, listening as it tapped on the canopy and splashed on leaves that shimmered in the gray of the morning. My thoughts were scattered as they often are, thinking about too much at once, when suddenly I felt drawn to pray. My thoughts stilled, and one word came to mind: Rush. I closed my eyes to the watery shadows of the morning and cried out to the Lord for Rush Limbaugh in his fight with cancer. As the words tumbled from my lips, I couldn't stop the tears from falling, so I just let them fall with the rain.
Yesterday, the tears fell again when I heard the heartbreaking news that he had died of complications from lung cancer.
I don't know why I was compelled to pray at that moment many months ago, but God's Spirit was moving me as clearly as the rain dropping from one leaf to the next. I prayed for Rush and his family — for strength in the face of treatment, peace in the midst of fear, comfort in a time of sadness, and healing if it was God's will. I felt, in that moment, the prayers of many joining with me. God was gracious. Rush survived his battle for many months — precious time spent with family and friends, time I'm sure he didn't think he'd get.
Like many others who have listened to Rush since he went national with his radio program in the late eighties, I grieve the loss. He was a vibrant presence in my life — in all our lives — so much like a friend or family member, because he was with us every day on those radio waves.

This has been the start of my fr profile for as long as i can remember...”I’ve been conservative all my life, but didn’t realize it until I heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio years and years ago. I literally whooped with excitement when he started to skewer the philosophy I secretly loathed, but felt guilty about loathing. He let me know that it was completely normal for me to mistrust the aim and intentions of the left. “
Praying for the family, the hosts, the staff...wisdom and comfort...big decisions they will make...I believe they will alternate hosting more officially, perhaps full weeks or 2 was or monthly, “permanently “, with Rush canned content mixed in.
Acronym sometimes used in business community. Sorry 😊
W3: who what when
W4: who what when where
Thanks!
His Spirit lives on in all of us!
Facebook & Twitter can’t take that away from us!
Stay proud that God has graced you with his wisdom. Spread his word.
Mega Dittos!
p.s. I remember that Rush said, “I’ll let u know when it’s it’s time to panic!”
Stand Ready. A reckoning is coming!
