Great comedian Bernie Mac has died at the age of 50, apparently from complications due to pneumonia. Details at CNN here.
This is very sad news for me. For two of my kids too - one of our favorite shows was the Bernie Mac Show. This was a funny man. Comedy is much poorer today. The highlight of the Original Kings for me. Bernie made me laugh so hard I thought I was 'gonna pass out. That big 'ole smile - he just seemed like somebody you could sit around and act ignorant with. Just sad. I pray he's on into the fullness of the Kingdom. Thanks for all the laughs Bernie - pray for us.
