A Way to Talk About Dying

“As you know, I’m a born again Christian” is a line rarely uttered by a public personality and when it is said often precedes something embarrassing. Not so with newscaster Dave Benton, telling viewers that he’s dying of brain cancer and has four to six months to live. His confidence in God, expressed so simply and directly, will make some listeners think there might be something to this religions business after all. Cheers, and prayers, for him.
