I had several comments sent my way, as to why I have said nothing about Paul Allen's death.

History is written by the victors.
A  semi-truism.
Defining our age where "political correctness" erases truth.
No one really wants to remember truth.
It is so inconvenient.

So why my silence?
Because I have nothing positive to say concerning him.

I knew him and his cohorts back in the 1980's.
Socially and professionally.
'nough said.

It is interesting that my readers think I should say something.
Yeah the people of Seattle whom saw what he did in business were impressed with him.
People whom worship wealth were impressed with him.
But get passed the superficial ... not much there.

The only real question is, what was his relationship with Jesus?

When I knew him well, he was an atheist.
When last we crossed paths, he was so full of himself - there was no room inside him for any but him.
But when you are one of the richest men in the world - you are free to believe your own press.
And maKe really dumb mistakes.
While calling all others morons.
Yeah a narcissist.
And if you are a long time reader, you know how I feel about them!

Locally, I have heard him called Jewish, Methodist and Mormon.
But if so, I am unaware of it.

One hopes all people will make their peace with their Creator.
To face Him, without doing so, only guarantees eternal tragedy.
And, honestly, I really do hope Paul did do so at some point.

Eternal separation from God has some profound implications .....
