An Obituary Swarm?

One week ago it was Arthur Miller. Today it is Hunter Thompson, John Raitt and Sandra Dee. Over the years these folks brought humor, tragedy, outrage, drama and inspiration into my life.

Although I cannot commend them all as models for the Christian life I can, and do, appreciate them for raising questions I might not have otherwise asked, for providing the simple pleasure of big screen silliness and for sharing a voice and a smile that raised us all nearly to the level of the angels.
