Amy Welborn has posted her late husband's final column, which he finished hours before he died. It's a stunner. Read it and meditate on it's message in light of what happened next. It's so heartbreaking, but so beautiful. What a gift that man's life and faith was. I am sorry I never knew him.
"Trust God," he wrote, then he died

Thank you very much for posting the link, Rod. I'm glad I have the opportunity to read this.
What a lovely column - it is truly amazing how many people forsee (in ways that I can't help but find uncanny and encouraging) their own deaths.
And his point about trusting God and not believing the "big lie" that if we are good, nothing bad will happen to us is so incredibly important.
Thank you for sharing a bit of this wonderful man's life with us, Rod.
