Today our hearts are heavy at World. The man who founded this place, Joel Bells, died yesterday at his home in Asheville, North Carolina, the result of complications due to Parkinson's disease.

He was 82.

We are grieving, but not as those without hope, because on the merits of his savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord, we know that Joel heard

the commendation, well done, good and faithful servant.

I love Joel. He was my friend. He was a wise and trustworthy colleague. I love the vision he cast for world and his passion to honor Christ in journalism. That vision and that passion is why those of us

here are here. Joel would have us carry on the task today and so we will, But we didn't want to start without letting you know how

grateful to God we are today for Joel's life and how much we miss Joel already. Good morning. A man in the country illegally says the government didn't give him adequate notice he was being kicked out.

We're living in this world where this is a strange statute and it leads to some kind of strange results.

That's ahead today on legal docket.

Also today, the Monday money beat the Fed Funds rate.

What is it and why can't you get it?

And the death of World's founder, Joel Bells, a man with big big plans with trust in a big God.

The Earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.

The world and they that dwell there in everything that's in the world belongs to that vision.

It's Monday, February 5th.

This is the world and everything in it from listeners supported

World Radio. I'm Mary Reicher. And I'm Nick Eicker. Good morning.
