He died this morning.<\/p>\n
I just stared at the headline.<\/p>\n
I knew he had cancer. I knew he’d fought it off at least once. I didn’t know he was that bad off, though.<\/p>\n
He had a good radio show before he went to the White House as press secretary. I enjoyed listening to him. And I was glad to hear him once in a while on The Radio Factor after he retired from his WH job. But I didn’t know him personally. So why should his death matter to me?<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
And why should it matter any more than the young man in Somalia that died at about the same time Tony did? (I assume one did.)<\/p>\n
I don’t know that either.<\/p>\n
In any event, I keep wondering what Mr. Snow learned after he died.<\/p>\n
What will you<\/b> learn after you die?<\/p>\n
And I<\/b>?<\/p>\n
So…what should we learn before<\/b> we die?<\/p>\n
And when<\/b> shall we try to learn it?<\/p>\n
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom”<\/font> (Psalm 90:12).<\/p>\n “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”<\/font> (Hebrews 9:27).<\/p>\n “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”<\/font> (Philippians 1:21).<\/p>\n May the Snow family find the Good Shepherd’s comfort and peace and strength and courage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" He died this morning.
