Re: Mark Heard on Francis Schaeffer

I'd read that the first verse of this song was about Francis Schaeffer.  If so, 
I'm guessing that is how Francis would feel about Franky.  And I hope the same 
for Franky too, (that his tears are washed to the sea), as much as I dislike the 
way he is handling his grievances with his father and mother.

"Washed to the Sea"
I knew a man who thanked God for the good things
His mind made clear by his terminal disease
And he wept for those who did not understand him
But his tears will be washed to the sea

There is a woman lives in midtown Manhattan
And the lines in her face seem to speak
She forgives all the loved ones who put them there
And her tears will be washed to the sea

I'm not a man you might call optimistic
Sometimes it pains me to see what I see
But truth is a river that is sober and slow
And tears will be washed to the sea
And tears will be washed to the sea

Abuse Mark Heard?  Say it isn't so.  Bandied ok, but not abused.  ; - )

And thus the trifecta (of venerable Christian musicians abused on the list
today) is complete.  ;)
