In Memoriam: Elizabeth Taylor

Ecclesiastes 12:14 (The Message)

 ¹⁴ And that's it. Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open and judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it's good or evil.

    

Matthew 7:3-5 (The Message)

 ^1-5 "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It's easy to see a smudge on your neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, 'Let me wash your face for you,' when your own face is distorted by contempt? It's this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

I know she had her issues, but the truth is that we all do.  Most of us are lucky enough to not have our issues, mistakes and disasters strewn all over the front page of the New York Times.  Imagine if your whole life, the good, the bad and the ugly were out for everyone to look at, sneer at and comment on.  One day we will stand before God and all of our good, bad and ugly will be out for everyone to see.  Some of us are lucky that it's all covered by the blood.  So, I pray that in the end this lady was able to see TRUTH and find REAL LOVE the only place it comes.  God bless her soul. Lord, I thank you for gracing us with her presence and talent for the 79 years we had her.  


Go in Peace dear one.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor 1932 - 2011
