Michael Spencer, The Internet Monk, has passed away
I’m not sure what to do or say. I’m sad. I’m ticked off. I’m tired of good people and needed voices being taken from us while evil men prosper. I know the rain falls on the unjust and just alike, but I’ll admit, I hate that it works that way. I’d rather see people like Michael thrive and live well into old age while those who do nothing but tear us down and make the world worse would get cancer. I understand that’s not the right attitude to take, but I’m just being honest. Maybe some time and perspective will help me see it in a better light, but right now, I’m just so down and so sad.
Lord, please make Your presence be felt and known by Denise and the kids. Give them peace and comfort. Embrace them both through your Holy Spirit and the company of good friends. We are all really going to miss Michael and wish you’d given us more time with him down here. Just be sure to introduce us in heaven one day since I only got to talk to him via email. I want him to know what an impact his writings had on me, if for no other reason than it made me realize I wasn’t crazy to feel the way I was feeling.
NOTE: As a gesture of support, perhaps we could all go ahead and pre-order Michael’s book that’s due out in September. Here’s the link at Amazon:
