His Angel's Up in Heaven
Posted: July 13, 2008
Why Paul Harvey needs your prayers…
There's an angel up in heaven
and a pall upon the earth.
In the Harvey house there's mourning.
With each dawn new tears are birthed.
There's an empty chair at supper,
half a bed that's undisturbed,
full-blown grief that won't be silenced,
random thoughts that can't be curbed.
It's "good day" he's used to saying,
but Paul had to say "goodbye"
to his bride, best friend and partner
who was always by his side.
Where's the "rest of" to this story?
Will it have a happy end?
That's my prayer for this newscaster
who's as old as Billy Graham.
May the faith that he professes
now sustain him as he strives
to report good news each noontime
and speak truth into our lives.
* Lynne "Angel" Harvey, the wife of legendary newscaster Paul Harvey, died on May 3, 2008 at the age of 92 following a year-long battle with leukemia. Angel and her adoring husband were married for 68 years.
