Those feelings of grief, loss and pain just come rushing right back into your heart.

The philosophy was, if you are gonna celebrate God, then put some passion into it.

when I was a VISTA volunteer in 1978. I don't remember the clapping. I DO remember the singing and swaying. I remember hearing it on the streets with the windows open. It was wonderful and rose the spirit. Clapping for a "performance" does not do it for me.

As I said, I'm not even religious anymore. And my church growing up was mixed race actually, but just about every black church I ever attended was that way.

or holy rollers, maniac evangelicals

Listening to this guy ramble on after W spoke. So many references to god, but most could be deleted and it would still be a good speech....love thy neighbor, love your family, do the right thing....

...It just shows that you're a decent human being who doesn't let hate override all their other feelings .

Some people choose hate over everything and they're poorer for it...

GW Bush left me I tears years ago when he committed war crimes in our name.

He deserves to suffer grief far worse than a deceased parent. In an orange jump suit.

Dim Son did far greater harm than tRump has done so far.

I did not cry but felt sad for his family. I will never shed a tear for trump as I will celebrate his death as he is not human.
