Oh and RIP.

It's customary to say that, but, really, is there any "peace" down below? I don't know why we say RIP for those we know are headed the other way because in life they flaunted God's rules in His face. For someone who chose to serve himself -- before God and his country --I can't say RIP, but I refrain from being too cruel and factual about his life at a time of death. God has the best last word on this guy, and I am sure "peace" has nothing to do with the final judgment.

I'm confused. Since only God knows where a person is heading, you're implying FReepers are God, knowing what to type. But would God use "flaunted" where "flouted" is the appropriate word?

Monday-morning puzzle necessitates coffee.

I'm not God...so RIP, Sen. Byrd. I appreciated your love of country and the states; even if you were often misguided you were better than your America-hating colleagues.

God created him. I don’t believe God makes mistakes. He was the man God intended.
