[Pithy Cherub]

19. Singing my song!

:applause:

[bliss_eternal]

24. He has a gorgeous voice--

I love the harp playing with him! Beautiful!

[burythehatchet]

20. What a beautifully moving and heartwarming ceremony.

A wonderful celebration of a great lady's life.

[bliss_eternal]

22. Ooooh--look at the gorgeous dancers in white!

So lovely and moving!

[Jeanette in FL]

27. This is just awesome

Jeff Majors has an awesome voice and the dancers are incredible. This has been such a wonderful celebration of her life. I have been mesmorized.

[bliss_eternal]

28. It's truly one of the most, if not the most dynamic

moments I've ever seen televised in my lifetime. Almost beyond what words can express...

The comments by the political leaders, embracing the King's and simultaneously admonishing *--amazing! :D

[malaise]

32. You didn't watch the Rosa Parks funeral?

That was awesome too.

[bliss_eternal]

37. No, I wasn't home that day--

:( So sorry I missed it. I bet it was wonderful! She deserved it!

[malaise]

40. It was absolutely fabulous

Dems in numbers. I'm sure it's recorded somewehre.
Pfleger is giving a positive message here

[bliss_eternal]

63. I enjoyed Pfleger's speech--

Good on him!

[speedoo]

33. T. D. Jakes... are you happy about NOLA?

Why are you not berating the Coward for ignoring New Orleans? You allowed him to use you for a photo op and then walk away.

Shame on you.

[bliss_eternal]

38. Shame on him, indeed speedo!

I have NO respect for that man AT ALL! Katrina victims saw more respect from a Canadian woman, Celine Dion who wept, no sobbed for the people of Katrina. How Bishop Jakes, who has the same complexion of many of the victims and survivors could do such a thing is incomprehensible to me.

[malaise]

31. Here comes another spoiler -this thug Jakes. n/t

[Pithy Cherub]

29. Angels.... it was just beautiful! n/t

[FrenchieCat]

25. A beautiful send off, for a very dynamic and great soul......

She shall be missed.

[bliss_eternal]

30. Unh--TD Jakes--still mad at him

from Katrina.

[speedoo]

34. He does not seem very welcome.

The family does not seem particularly happy to see him.

Sit down already.

[bliss_eternal]

36. He allows himself to be used by shrub. During the Katrina mess

he was trotting about with shrub, as some sort of public relations thing. He should be ashamed. His people were drowning and dying in the flood water, and he was running around with that clown, trying to make him look like he doesn't hate black people.

:mad:

[Sydnie]

35. Speak the truth to power! Say it loud and often! n/t

[helderheid]

39. just got back

[Sydnie]

46. WB helderheid

:hi:

[helderheid]

49. thanks - what an emotional day!

:cry: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :cry:

[Sydnie]

52. I feel like I have run a marathon today

Laughing, crying, hoping, and reflecting.

:grouphug: :cry: :hug: back at 'cha.

[bliss_eternal]

54. Welcome back, helderheid!

Sorry for the delay--got booted off for a moment. :crazy:

[bliss_eternal]

41. Go Reverend Pfleger ! He's really fired up!

He's from Chicago--go man, go! :woohoo:

[malaise]

43. He's really good

I'm impressed

[Sydnie]

44. Yes he was. n/t

[Skidmore]

42. Is that Falwell sitting behind the speaker to the left?

[carolinalady]

45. no that is Robert Shueller

[Skidmore]

47. Thanks. The resolution on my WIndows media player

is really poor.

Not much better, but at least it's not that sorry excuse for human matter, Falwell.

Lord, give me a forgiving spirit.

[bliss_eternal]

56. LOL, Skidmore!

:rofl:

[carolinalady]

48. He has the Crystal Cathedral in Anaheim California-

a beautiful place. I have been there. He used to boradcast on Sunday mornings-I do not know if he still does that.

[helderheid]

50. I always really loved him when I watched him as a kid

Upon the passing of Coretta Scott King

From: Dr. Robert H. Schuller - Founding Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral, Garden Grove, Calif.
Dr. Robert H. Schuller & Coretta Scott King


Dr. Robert H. Schuller & Coretta Scott King
April 2005

Coretta Scott King was a dear friend of our ministry as well as a beloved and admired citizen of our great nation. In fact, we could rightly say that America is greater today for millions of persons because of her and the legacy she leaves behind.

Her last public interview was here in the Crystal Cathedral on Sunday, April 10, 2005. In my interview with her, Mrs. King humbly reminded the congregation and millions of TV viewers that she felt it was God’s calling for her to be the wife of a pastor who followed the teachings of Jesus Christ.

“I always believed, from a youngster, that there was a purpose for my life and that there’s a purpose for each one of our lives. We have to seek that purpose,” said Mrs. King. “My faith was continually increased as I thought about what my purpose was.”

After the tragic assassination of her husband, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mrs. King devoted her entire self and life to perpetuating their shared passion to create profound social change through non-violent means. She was, and remains, a beacon of hope.

Though we have now lost her physical presence among us, the positive spirit of the hope she generated for oppressed persons everywhere will continue to light a bright and brilliant path for yet unborn generations. She is truly a significant chapter in the history of human dignity and freedom.

51. Andrew Young

There were so many good people - what has happened to our world.

[Sydnie]

53. they are denied their platform

without coverage, you don't exist.

It always reminds me of the quote from the movie "Quiz Show" ... "They never leave a guy alone, unless they're leaving him alone."

[bliss_eternal]

60. Evil, corruption, greed...it's up to us

the one's that know better to make it right.

[Pithy Cherub]

55. Love the Winans!

You Must Stand! What a message that resonates! and now CeCe...

[bliss_eternal]

57. ...where ARE my tissues?

:cry: :cry: :cry:

That woman sings like an angel...

[malaise]

58. CeCe has a beautiful voice

indeed

[Sydnie]

59. yes she does

I didn't think I had any tears left! :cry:

[bliss_eternal]

61. Whoa boy--pretty full again--going to start a new one!

:hi:

[bliss_eternal]

62. Here's the new thread--

probably going to be a short one, since Berniece is wrapping up now...
