Comments on: Coming to peace http://www.notinaday.com/kelly/2007/05/22/coming-to-peace/ The good, the bad, and the funny Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:14:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Jamie http://www.notinaday.com/kelly/2007/05/22/coming-to-peace/#comment-4179 Jamie Thu, 24 May 2007 21:16:13 +0000 http://www.notinaday.com/kelly/?p=231#comment-4179 There was a lot of hatred spewed on the Internet about him, so I am glad to have read your perspective. One of the bloggers here in Nashville, Gingersnaps, also attended Liberty and had kind things to say about him. Yes, he was controversial and angered a lot of people but there are two sides to everyone and two sides to every story.

I feel a stronger pull towards Lynchburg than normal right now, I guess because I never imagined being so far away when this happened. Dr. Falwell affected so many, and although I didn't always agree with his decisions and/or statements, the fact that he was blessed abundantly and chosen for a special calling can not be denied. His passing definitely signifies the end of an era, and I will be forever grateful for my time at Liberty. Being here, I haven’t heard much about his passing…sadly.

I don't think I even knew you went to LU. But thanks for the positive light. I can't believe all the hateful things they are saying about him in the media. It's nice to hear about the real man.

Thanks so much for this post. It was really hard for me too altho i had no back ground with Dr Falwell or even Liberty. We heard about it 2 hrs after he passed. Toni called me. It's one of those weird things i'll never forget. Like you said, it was like he was always supposed to be around. What is crazy is that i just met his daughter-in-law not even a week before that. I had never met any of the Falwells. She owns this church where Donna does her yoga classes. I was surprised at how hard it was to see his casket today while we watched part of the funeral on line.
