Remembering Michael Jackson

Today's memorial service for Michael Jackson was touching to say the least. The testimonies and tributes given by the celebrities, siblings, and friends was nothing less than incredible. I know that I was not the only one brought to tears while I watched. ">One performance by Jennifer Hudson of the song "Will You Be There" particularly caused me to think about the message in many of the songs that Michael wrote and performed. Thinking about songs like; Man In The Mirror, Heal The World, and You Are Not Alone really provided insight about Michael's heart for people and desire to change lives through his music. He had a mission and he knew what it was. He had a tool- his music and he used it to fulfill his purpose and goals in life. He was loved by his children, his family, his friends and his fans all around the world. Berry Gordy today said it clearly today when he described Michael as the best entertainer in the world.

What are your thoughts?
