Please look up a CNN story about McCain and his faith. He was a man of deep faith. That faith was tested and proven during his years of imprisonment. According to the CNN story, he consistently refused to discuss it in anyway that could have been perceived as using it politically. Supposedly when he was imprisoned, he did not pray to be released, but he prayed that he be led to do the right thing. He and his prison mates were not allowed to have Bibles, so they did “Bible study“ by discussing versus if they had memorized or remember
At yesterday‘s service in the Capitol rotunda, the benediction prayer closed with words something like this quote and we pray in the name of Jesus Christ who Senator McCain believed was his Savior.“
I did not see much of the funeral today, as I am enjoying Minnesota’s lakes, but I do find much of the discussion upstream creepy. This is not “our“ funeral, it is his funeral. And who are we to say that it all to be conducted the way we would conduct a funeral? If there were kinder comments about the funeral upstream, I apologize for not seeing them before posting this. Reception in certain parts of the lake country is spotty.
