Although I am not familiar with the departure of Joey Johnsen from Turlington Plaza, I felt compelled to respond to Ryan Heuser's Friday letter to the editor. His letter resounded with sorrowful loss, which many of us have or will experience in this life sooner or later. But his damnation decree for UF students without Johnsen is not the way to grieve a loss. Another preacher, Charles Stanley, once said, "It is not Jesus' voice accusing us of constantly falling short. He is the one who lives to intercede for us."
I sincerely hope another will fill the gap that Johnsen left on Turlington Plaza. However, it is faith in Jesus that saves, not any human being's presence. And as Christians, we never say goodbye - because sooner or later we will meet again.
