LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Thousands of parishioners packed a church yesterday to mourn the passing of the Rev. Jerry Falwell and greet a horse-drawn hearse carrying his body.

Two morning services were held in the church founded by Mr. Falwell, the 73-year-old evangelist and major force in conservative Christianity who died May 15. His son, Jonathan Falwell, executive pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, rallied the tearful crowd of roughly 5,000, pleading with members to continue carrying forward with his father's work.

I agree Smoothie, I told my wife for him to get through that message without losing it shows God was giving him supernatural strength. The message was powerful and visionsary as well. Kendra wanted me to let you know she is coming up for the funeral and hopes she will get to say hello.

They are composing themselves as if we've all been expecting it for years. Not so, in fact if you talk to JJ one of the first things he'll tell you is "it was a complete shock" yet their power is astounding.

I wasn't able to make the service, but all I keep hearing is about how great Jonathan was. There is no doubt that God has His hand on this place, and the right people are in the right places at the right time.
