Okay, I feel a little gulty about this, but the truth is that the news of Jerry Falwell's death did cheer me up a bit. Like I said, I'm not proud of it. On theother hand, if his absence helps the world heal, then it's a good thing. And I believe each of us chooses when to go.
They think he died of a heart problem -- I'm not sure he had a heart (See http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/10806.html), which would, of course, qualify.
To distract myself every time I'm tempted to gloat, I say the following prayer:
"May the hearts and minds of those in power be turned to the good of the earth and its people, or may they be removed from power immediately and permanently."
I do this prayer at least once a day, often many times a day. Do you think it helped?
