[5 JAN 24] We all hugged him and held his hand as he left this Earth and went back home to the Great Lord. He could not have received a more loving send off. I will miss him but this is a TILL WE MEET AGAIN moment, not a permanent parting.
Thank you Papa Jerry for being a Man of God and and giving our family an excellent example of what it means to be a humble and faithful follower of our Lord Jesus till the very end.
The show will resume on Monday. Thanks for your understanding.
~James and the BCP family
This is the speech by Michael Knowles, who preceded Glenn Beck at the tribute. Note: the last few minutes of this recording are missing.
This was the highlight of the event. Honestly, I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, per se — he's just not my cup of tea, though I did enjoy his show years ago on Fox and supported The Blaze in its first several years. But in this speech, Glenn talked about the things Charlie stood for: Christianity, attending church, respecting and loving the people you disagree with, and marriage and having LOTS of babies. All of those are near and dear to my heart too, so I really liked this speech.
(Michael Knowles spoke before Glenn — I'll put up his speech tomorrow.)
