Pomp and circumstance

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (1 Jn 2:16).

Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces (Lk 11:43).

For those who plan ahead, funerals are their final statement to the world and God of what you think matters in life. I didn't watch the McCain funeral, but from what I read, it was a typical state funeral for a national figure of his prominence. Eulogized by two former presidents, including the execrable Obama. Eulogized by Nixon's famous/infamous Secretary of State (Kissinger). In a separate ceremony, eulogized by the odious Joe Biden. The main ceremony was held at National Cathedral, flagship of the apostate ECUSA. 

Sen. McCain has a younger brother (Joe McCain) who's still alive. Wouldn't he be the obvious choice to give the eulogy? But he's not that important. 

John McCain had an ambitious, absentee father, and it's an interesting question how he might have turned out differently with a dad who put family ahead of career.
