Tony Campolo passed away today.
He was 89 years old.
He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard.
If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii.
It's worth your time.
Paraphrasing from Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” book
She asked her Mom why she was holding Barack’s hand on election night
“His father left when he was 2. He lost his mother to cancer. He was moments away from becoming leader of the free world with no parents. So I took his hand”

So true! Christine McVie's voice and songs form some of my earliest radio memories. "Over My Head" has been in my head since I was 6. Thanks for the music. https://t.co/j9ojL4N8XC
Christine McVie had the most hits of anyone in Fleetwood Mac, yet was somehow the most underrated member. Never flashy, alway great. She was the glue that held all those crazy wonderful elements together. Her songs had a soulfulness unhampered by pretense. RIP.
