"Was Rush Saying 'Goodbye for Good' Today?"

I only caught about 25 minutes of the beginning, and about 5 minutes of the END, of Rush Limbaugh's radio show today. But it sure sounded to me like he was saying Goodbye for Good.

Rush referenced Lou Gehrig's farewell speech, and said that he now understood how Lou felt (in his final appearance on the field at Yankee Stadium, when he said he was "the luckiest man on the face of the earth" though he was dying). Rush mentioned that his doctors didn't expect him to live THIS long but because he's exceeded their predictions, he's had the privilege of "hearing his own eulogies" and knowing how much he's loved. He sounded choked up at times, he reflected on his beginnings in the radio business on several occasions and thanked his audience for their support over the past 32 years MANY times....and all of this was only in the 30 or so minutes that I heard!!

I was very encouraged when Rush said something like his signature description of himself, "Talent on Loan From God," means more to him now than it ever did. There have been OTHER hopeful indications that Rush, who will be 70 on January 12th (Lord Willing), is now READY to meet the Lord when his soul is required of him, this is just a new one. WE HOPE, of course, that he IS saved and that we WILL hear Rush's voice "live" again on our radios. Hey, he USUALLY goes on vacation from around Christmas until the New Year, right?? So maybe he's just going on vacay and coming BACK.. Part of us hopes that what we fear is happening ISN'T happening, but the REALISTIC part faces the facts as Rush himself wants us to. I certainly hope he will live long enough AT LEAST to see Trump prevail and get a second term via his election fraud challenges (Trump HIMSELF hinted that he might YET be re-inaugurated, in a speech last night). But, it's all in God's Hands right now...the important thing is that Rush is READY...sins forgiven...trusting the merit and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ ALONE.

50 years ago right about now, George Harrison, after the Beatles' breakup, released his solo album "All Things Must Pass." The title song seemed to be intended to comfort those who were mourning the demise of the Fab Four, who broke up earlier that year. There is a lot of truth in that song's lyrics, all things MUST pass, none of life's strings CAN last, as I learned the next month when my Uncle Steve died suddenly at age 29. Rush Limbaugh has presently lived 40 years longer than my Uncle Steve, and he, and his beloved "EIB microphone," must pass ALSO.

I hope it's not SOON for Rush, but today sure sounded like "Goodbye for Good" to this sad listener.
