Ted Turning? Feb 05 2010
"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt; their deeds are vile;" - Psalm 14:1
Let's look at some selected statements in the life of Ted Turner, businessman, media mogul, bison rancher, and the largest private landowner in the USA.
1989: "Christianity is a religion for losers."
2000: Upon admitting that one of the main things that caused the divorce with Jane Fonda, his wife of nine years, was that she had become a Christian, Ted sad, "She just came home and said, 'I've become a Christian.' Before that, she was not a religious person. That's a pretty big change for your wife of many years to tell you. That's a shock."
2001: Speaking to employees who had ashes smudged on their foreheads for Ash Wednesday: "Are you all a bunch of Jesus Freaks? Maybe you should go to work for Fox News."
2008: Upon partnering with Lutherans and Methodists in a $200 million campaign to fight malaria in Africa: "Religion is one of the bright spots as far as I'm concerned, even though there are some areas where they've gone over the top a little."
Now this is not a Saul-to-Paul conversion here; in fact, it is not even a conversion - at least, not yet. But it does appear his heart is softening - maybe just a little bit. Let's pray for him. It could be interesting to watch this story develop. Can't you see the headline on the 24-hour news networks that begin, "A Fool No More?" Stay tuned!

Yes, report it Nevermindyears ago in the 80's went to Kay Arthur meetings with several friends, Ted would be mentioned many times over by her - I think many have been praying for him for a long, long time, hope what you have written will someday actually come true since u know his dad committed suicide - God has mysterious ways doesn't He!
