Jerry Falwell goes home

The loudest mouth in Christendom is silenced. I used to cringe when he talked to reporters, but that's all beside the point now. However much he may have gotten under folks' skins, it says a lot that he was willing to hold himself to ridicule for what he believed was right. I'm in a minority, I guess, but I think he was a good man who didn't know when to stop talking. And I'm not convinced he said half the things that are imputed to him. He loved the Lord more than anything, and that's where the rubber meets the road. Whatever else people say about me when I die, I hope they can say that.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
