Comments on: America putting the “fun” back in funeral http://www.intolerantelle.com/?p=91 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 06:30:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1.3 by: Bob http://www.intolerantelle.com/?p=91#comment-104 Tue, 15 Jun 2004 17:04:51 +0000 http://www.intolerantelle.com/?p=91#comment-104 I only saw the return to California, where there again was applause, and though it was disconcerting, I think its message was "We're with you, Nancy!" What especially impressed me, though, was The Reverend Senator Danforth's specifically Christian homily. Not all that expected in Washington PC. No doubt many a feather was ruffled.

Oh, giver of every good and perfect gift, accept our gratitude for the life of your servant, President Ronald Reagan, whose love for freedom summoned our nation to embrace our best hopes and not our worst fears. Thank you for his ability to plant seeds of confidence and not doubt and to lift liberty's lamp until totalitarian towers tumbled. In the days to come, remind us of America's opportunity to remain a shining city on a hill. Continue to comfort those who mourn. In a special way, be near to Mrs. Nancy Reagan and the family. May the death of this beloved leader prompt us to see you more clearly, to love you more dearly, and to follow you more nearly day by day. Now fill us with your peace, as we trust you, so that we may overflow with hope by the power of your spirit. Amen. " “Let us bow for the benediction.

Oh, the pain of the human condition! No matter what ideology we hold, we all face the same fate: death. But believers rejoice in knowing our eternal life will be spent in the presence of God. From what I've heard and read this past week, Reagan was a believer. He is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior. Praise God." “Unexpected tears flowed as I watched a tiny, frail-looking Nancy Reagan stroking her husband’s flag-draped coffin. Oh, the pain of the human condition!
