His Kids Loved Him
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
I've been reading through some of the obits about Jerry Falwell, a man I secretly always wanted to debate but never had the chance. One line jumped out of this comment on the Baptist Press:
These remain as monuments to Jerry Falwell's leadership and vision. But far more than these, I would look to his family. Dr. Jerry Falwell leaves a wife he dearly loved, Macel, and three children who were the pride of his life. The best testimony to Jerry Falwell the man is that his children love him and his two sons stand ready to continue what their father began. For a man who spent so much time in the public eye, this is truly a powerful legacy.It's easy to dismiss this line, but the more I think about it, the rarer it seems: Billy Graham couldn't make that claim. Ronald Regan couldn't make that claim. I bet Ted Haggard won't be able to make that claim. Interesting.
