I certainly don't want to speak "ill" of the dead, but, I can't stand by and watch the news shows, FOX included, pour out the praise for Ted Kennedy.
Everyone seems to have forgotten Mary Jo Kopechne and her family:flower:. The family that had to spend the last 40 plus years missing their daughter because Teddy-boy was reckless, young, and impulsive. Instead of taking the punishment for his poor decision, he went on to accumulate wealth and power, while Mary Jo died way too early, missing out on her chance to be "all that she could be!"
Teddy snuffed out this bright light way to early in her life, and for a family member to eulogize him [today] as a man who fought for the "rights of all people to live to their fullest..." is a lie when you consider what he did to Mary Jo Kopechne on that fateful night in the deep waters off Chappaquiddick Island.
In a perfect world, Teddy would have spent hard time in prison, but, his name and heritage did for him what the average American would never get: "A proverbial get-out-of-jail-free-card" because of his families social status in the world of politics.
I don't doubt that the man did great things in his life, but, his first order of business to humankind was to pay for the life of Mary Jo Kopechne. The satisfaction of seeing her killer serve time behind bars, like any other citizen in this nation would deserve, was what he owed society. Instead, he used his families good name and social status to set his feet on solid ground, thus, a serious injustice was committed by the Kennedy clan.:tear:
Please understand...as a Christian, and more importantly, as a born-again believer, I am truly sorry for the loss of Ted Kennedy, and pray for his family to feel the peace and comfort of the Lord's presence at this time of loss. I pray for their grief, and ask that the Lord comfort them and dry away their tears.
Ted will finally face the judgment seat of Jehovah God now that he has entered this next phase of life. It is not my role in this life to judge him, because his sins have finally sought him out. I know that God will review his sin fairly and squarely, and Teddy will finally be on common ground, unable to use the good Kennedy name to shield him from paying for the life of Mary Jo Kopechne.
Thus I pray for the family of Mary Jo Kopechne . I pray that their long period of waiting for some form of justice, come to a peaceful ending now that Teddy has passed on. I pray for their tears to be eternally dried away for the injustice their daughters life, and I ask that the compassion of a just Lord and Savior draw this family to His Bosom, and heal the years of hate and anger that they must have held within their hearts as they watched and read about their daughter's killer enjoying.
Kennedy was more than a killer...he was a coward. And with that I say good bye to the last remaining act of injustice by this man they called: the Lion; the center of their family, the man that spent his life "fighting for the rights of women [LOL]...
Shalom,
Pastor Paul
