    Very nice note. I’d hope to have similar strength and humor and honesty if put in a similar situation.

      Great note. I am reminded why I have respect and even envy for genuine Christian belief.

      I understand that completely. I often wish I had a stronger faith. I do not disavow the spiritual, nor assert that we are all there is. I just find it hard to adhere to what someone else tells me it is.

        A life well lived. Like him or not he was there to do his best for what he believed in and he did just that. God bless him.

                  God, the comments are awful. We've really become the ugly Americans.

                    Maybe the ugly comments are from bots controlled by stinkin' foreigners?

                          It's pretty obscure and not quite as funny as people are saying (he's getting an impending mortality bump). Trump said that Pence needed the courage to not certify the 2020 election results, which in Trump's addled mind would have led to Trump retaining the presidency. (It wouldn't have.)

                          Education is extremely important.
