What a man! 

His legacy will live on forever.

I am really sure that he is being lavished with blessings right now. Can you imagine everyone who has been touched by Mr. Mandela's life, will be awaiting his enterance to Heaven.

Yes.everything was going normal and then everything just kind of stopped and the bad news came in...bad wind storm in England, 146 miles per hour winds in Scotland, couldn't shut off my comptuer...now I can't turn it on...finally took thge battery completely out of it....snow is inching it's way from the north along the coast after midnight with one to two inches of snow...if it stays over on the beach side, we are ok, it will only smack southern Oregon when it comes in and expected to drop 10 inches of snow...but if it makes it over the coastal mts,,,we could see snow here when we wake up tomarrow morning.  On top of that the news was intrupted by an Amber alert for an missing teenager...here.Think the guy that has her is headed to Mexico...at 19 years old, I doubt it. Sad to see an icon as they are calling him die, but at 95 years old, Mandela lived an good life some of those years. Sending his family our condolences in the matter.
