I heard the sad news today that Randy Paush, the Carnegie Mellon professor who became famous through his talk entitled, "The Last Lecture," lost his battle with pancreatic cancer today. I watched his lecture on You Tube (viewed now by 8+ million), read his book (both his speech and book were for his three young children when they are older - and have been following his health/life on his website. He was truly inspiring (rather humorous, too!) and was an outstanding example of how to truly LIVE life. If you haven't viewed it, it's really worth the watch: The Last Lecture and the book (by the same title) is well worth the read.
His story and personal blog: here

Was he a believer?
Not that I'm aware of... :(
When you read about someone and follow their life it can truly feel as if you know them personally. I know what that's like. Diane Sawyer is doing a piece on Randy tonight at 10:00 on ABC.
