John Paul II
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116:15 (NIV)
A Godly man has entered heaven. The media and public interest is quite high and very inspiring. The Pope crossed many lines and layers of our world to what I believe was the delight of God. We should be grateful to the Lord for this man's life and pray for his successor.
I'm not catholic and never will be. There are matters in the catholic traditions that make me quite uncomfortable, but not this man. His message was morally profound and consistent with the gospel. So was his life. In death he displayed the grace of God and holy expectation of his eternal reward through faith in Christ. Let us remember him for the holy man he was.
Did you also notice that Frank Perdue died today too? He sure did a lot for chicken dinners. In all likelihood, thousands of other good Christian men and women entered heaven today as well. We'll need to work on good replacements.

Let's pray that our good replacements are of the same Godly character -- patience, persistent, humble and eager to learn of man and God! There's no flash here by the man himself -- but if mankind can identify his Godly character --they should take heed . . .and be still and quitely make an impact upon the world.
