Tammy Faye

I cannot help but reach out my heart to that woman whenever I see that
recent Larry King interview. Her physical condition was so
heartbreaking to watch, for it was so obvious that the end was
approaching closely for her. To find out on this night that she had
passed away on Friday is no surprise, but at the same time is no easy
pill to swallow.

I never knew Tammy on a personal level, but there was something
genuine about her spirit that made one feel as if they did know her.
So approachable and so open minded and so loving and so
understanding...my God it is such a shame that people like her have to
go away while so many ill-hearted folks go on sucking up oxygen, a
damn shame. Everytime I see that Larry King interview and catch a
glimpse of her frailty I fall to pieces from the bottom of my heart.

It is moments like these that cause me to sit back and think about the
imperfections of my life. So many days go by that I get swayed and
tempted by this tech toy and that gadget, and it happens so much so
that I tend to lose count. I realize that I do not always have my
priorities in line and I need to focus more on fixing that and less on
talking about it.

My God she was such a brilliant star of Bethlehem compared to most of
these gigantic balls of hot air that rule this world and lay waste to
it by war and violence. She will definitely be missed even though she
is in a better place.
