Senator Ted Kennedy dies at 77

Sen­a­tor Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy of Mass­a­chu­setts has died of a malig­nant brain tumor.  I never much cared for the man or his pol­i­tics, but I’ll not say any­thing to dis­par­age his char­ac­ter today.   I’ll just leave you with this:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of com­pas­sion and the God of all com­fort, ⁴who com­forts us in all our trou­bles, so that we can com­fort those in any trou­ble with the com­fort we our­selves have received from God. ⁵For just as the suf­fer­ings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our com­fort over­flows. ⁶If we are dis­tressed, it is for your com­fort and sal­va­tion; if we are com­forted, it is for your com­fort, which pro­duces in you patient endurance of the same suf­fer­ings we suf­fer. ⁷And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our suf­fer­ings, so also you share in our comfort.

– 2 Corinthi­ans 1:3–7

My thoughts and prayers are with his fam­ily.
