Tonight, I'm asking for a special prayer for Tammy Faye Messner (former wife of ex-PTL leader Jim Baker) who died Friday night at age 65 after a long battle with cancer.
I'm told by friends that she appeared on "Larry King Live" as recently as last Thursday night. While she was in failing health, she was at peace with dying and was faithful until the end. News reports say that she died Friday and a private family service was held today.
No matter what you thought of Jim Baker, the "PTL" (Praise the Lord) ministry or Tammy Faye, you have to give her credit for praising God in her way and always professing her love for the Lord with her mouth. She may have been what some might call "over the top," but she lived life to the fullest and I truly believe she is in God's loving care. While I always doubted the sincerity of Jim Baker, I truly never for a moment doubted that Tammy loved the Lord.
God bless her family, friends and fans throughout the world.
