Nice weekend. GREAT weather. Watched a lot about the Pope, and what a beloved man he was. He executed the papal role with dignity, decorum, faith, and above all, love. Another beloved man, Billy Graham, commented on how much he loved the man. He was invited to the funeral but cannot go because of his own declining health, but is sending his daughter instead. He lived with great reverence to God. Both his health and his suffering he considered gifts and he truly set an example of dignity in living and dying. He did not compromise his faith or beliefs. He remained true to his calling and did not bow to the gods of the age. Many have come to know the Lord because of the Pope. I love the picture of him with Mr. Graham, and the one with him and Mother Teresa, another great beloved person who was such a beacon of love and grace. What servants of God, those people. They are the ones whom, when God asked who was ready to serve Him, said, "Here am I; send me." And I know there are many like them, unsung perhaps, but just as important in the Kingdom of God. They are all about us and many are behind the scenes. But so many people we kind of ignore or look past, those people will be in the Halls of Fame, so to speak, in Heaven.
