Cranky Bear

I never met the man, but tonight I’m as sad as if I lost a good friend. Steve Gilliard, the heart of one of my favorite blogs, lost the battle with mortality tonight. I don’t know the nature of his faith, but he was a good man who thought hard about what he said, and wasn’t afraid to put himself out there for what he believed. I hope for him what my faith teaches: let light perpetual shine upon him. My prayers go to his mother, and to Jen, a woman who brought so much joy to his life, and, through him, ours.

You fought the good fight. Rest well, you’ve earned it.

Offered without comment. And this is just too easy.

I’ve read Riverbend’s blog for a long time.  She’s a great writer who’s insights into life on the ground in Baghdad are essential reading.  The time between posts has been getting longer and longer, and I’m so afraid for her.  Can God ever forgive us for what we’ve wrought there?

I love people.  They rarely disappoint.  Watch the video, it’s a classic.

Dear Writers,

I know it’s a catch phrase you have to use up to and including when you have a bowel movement, but when ice weighs down a limb, falls, and kills a 9-year-old girl, could you PLEASE not call it “breaking” news?

Love,

–Cranky
