I just heard on the news that one of my heroes, radio legend Paul Harvey, passed away today. Harvey, a long time ABC News radio announcer was, I believe, the greatest wordsmith and story teller of our day…perhaps the greatest to ever grace the radio airwaves. Well known for his daily news reports and commentary called “The Rest of the Story,” he was an aggressive advocate for the moral high ground that is rarely traveled by people in our world today. Harvey was also a born again Christian and would routinely weave his faith into his commentaries. At 90, Harvey had slowed his pace, especially since his wife Angel passed away about a year ago, but now the airwaves will surely seem strangely silent. I want to praise God that he used Paul Harvey to elevate the art of broadcasting and that Paul Harvey was faithful to God’s call on his life. While he will continue to inspire people both in and outside of broadcasting for years to come, the news will never be the same.
