Whos Says God Doesn't Have A Warped Sense Of Humor?

Only the good die young.

First Jerry Falwell and now Yolanda Denise King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, at the age of fifty-one. I guess God had to get the taste of Falwell out of his mouth.

The New York Times wrote this about her:

She was the most visible and outspoken among the Kings' four children during this year's Martin Luther King Day in January, the first since her mother's death. At her father's former Atlanta church, Ebenezer Baptist, she performed a series of solo skits that told stories including a girl's first ride on a desegregated bus and a college student's recollection of the 1963 desegregation of Birmingham, Ala.

She also urged the audience to be a force for peace and love, and to use the King holiday each year to ask tough questions about their own beliefs on prejudice.

"We must keep reaching across the table and, in the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, feed each other,'' King said.

She was definitely her parent's child. Rest in peace, Ms King.
