Fit for a President


Before he passed away Senator John McCain planned all the details of his five separate memorial services. One TV commentator said, “McCain’s memorials were fit for a President.” I have to wonder if in planning his own funeral services that McCain wasn’t saying to America, “I’m a war hero and yet you, the voter, chose first term Senator Obama over me to be President of the United States. You did not recognize me as Presidential in life, but I will force you to pay homage to me in death.”  I suspect that McCain, in order to memorialize himself, was looking for praise from men, “…for they loved praise from men more than praise from God” (John 12:43 NIV).
