Goodbye Jerry

So Jerry Falwell died today. It's hard to be indifferent isn't it? Either you loved him or you just wished he would shut up. In his later years even the news got tired of reporting some of the outlandish things ol' Jerry had to say: the tsunami was the fault of the homosexuals, as was 9/11, etc.

I've known plenty of students from Liberty, Falwell's university, that defend him tenaciously. I've met others that are relatively indifferent. Either way death is always a hard subject to write about. On one hand it is sad that his family and friends have to go through the mourning process and on the other death can be a very gracious thing. Perhaps Jerry had completed the tasks that God had for him in this life. I may have disagreed with you Jerry but I hope we can sit down to some tea in heaven, maybe even some wine.

Rest in Peace
