A clearly emotional Tom Brokaw spoke those words Friday afternoon. Our world, and the world of journalism, is poorer without Tim Russert in it.

Brokaw said, in part: "Tim loved his family, his faith, his country, politics, the Buffalo Bills, the New York Yankees, and the Washington Nationals."

There is a cruel irony in Tim Russert passing over Father's Day weekend. He wrote two bestselling books about fathers and sons. And now his own father, in his 80's, has to bury his son at the very young age of 58.

My prayers are with all the Russerts during this terrible time.

For the curious, there's also an excellent glimpse at Russert the Catholic at the Catholic News Service. And the Anchoress has a lovely appreciation of him, as well.

THOUGHT: How easy it is to blame others for our unhappiness, but we are only unhappy when something other than Christ has become our life. The husband or wife, who has Christ as their life, comes to their spousal relationship already satisfied. They do not come continually looking to be made happy by another person's attention; they bring Christ's life to their spouse, Francis Frangipane; Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing, Mother Teresa.

THOUGHT: Givers can be divided into three types: the flint, the sponge and the honeycomb. Some givers are like a piece of flint - to get anything out of it you must hammer it, and even then you only get chips and sparks. Other are like a sponge - to get anything out of a sponge you must squeeze it and squeeze it hard, because the more you squeeze a sponge, the more you get. But others are like a honeycomb - which just overflows with its own sweetness. That is how God gives to us, and it is how we should give in turn, anonymous.

August 5th `09 Notes

 

THOUGHT: While I was in Tibet I saw a Buddhist, a monk, who had lived for five or six years in a cave. When he went into the cave he had good eyesight. But because he stayed so long in the darkness his eyes grew weaker and weaker, and at last he became quite blind. It is just the same with us. If we do not use the blessings which we have received from God for His Glory, we are in danger of losing them for ever, Sadhu Sundar Singh.
