You came sweet boy and you left a mark. You changed the world and changed many people's opinions about polar bears. You will be forgotten.

I don't recall which station showed it, but there was a video of Knut's final minutes on TV last night. It showed him going out of control, in circles and then falling into the water. I was surprised to see it on TV. I assume he drowned. It did look as though he was having a seizure of sorts. Very sad.

My daughter Lori told me of this yesterday and to see such a heartfelt outpouring here makes me know there are still a lot of nice folks in the world. May the Lord bless all of you who wrote nice words here. The Epistle James in the Bible speaks of how damaging words can to be one's self and other, how poisonous the tongue can be. It also speaks of how LIFE can be in the words of a person. May we all speak LIFE, even when there is a situation of death. God sees our humanness in that.
May the Lord Jesus be in the hearts of you all.
My love to all in my Savior, Jesus,
