The pastor that presided over our wedding (link below). Great, great guy. Strong faith, great love for his family, his job (music director at our church), and the body of our church. Mid 50s? His remaining life on this earth is measured in weeks now. He gave us our pre-marriage counseling and coincidentally led our baptism class several months after our marriage. We have had the privilege to get to know him really well. Just a great stand-up guy, a class act.

He's a great speaker as well. What would you say to a group of people if you knew you had a terminal illness? What sort of message would you deliver with what would likely be your final speech? Download his message from January 10 and listen to it on a walk or in the car, or whatever. you will not be disappointed, trust me. I don't care if you are religious or not, you will not be disappointed.
