By the time Ben Breedlove’s parents discovered the videos last Monday, the YouTube recordings of their 18-year-old son talking about his impending death had already gone viral. Read the rest of Ben’s story in People. Ben passed away on Christmas Day.
We’ve heard about people who have had near-death experiences and what they saw or felt. Do you know of anyone who likewise had a similar experience?

Forty years later, having won most of their early battles, the current “women’s issue” crowd now maintains there’s a war on us that won’t end until we can obtain contraception and abortion without so much as a co-payment even for women who can afford an education at Georgetown, and it must be paid for even by people who have always maintained conscientious objection.
Meanwhile, many of us have refused to assimilate, though we rarely hold press conferences about it. Bearing the wounds of the sexual revolution, we think, for our daughters’ sakes, there’s still room for discussion. Abortion and contraception (free at last, or mostly) aren’t the best we have to offer our girls….
We think the abortion-contraception damsel in distress dirge is unworthy of us, and quite disingenuous coming from women perfectly able to pay.
Our “women’s issue” sisters may be admirable for their tenacity in defining the debate, but they do not define us. We take issue with their version of “women’s issues” and we can speak for ourselves.

I read that in NBC’s report they cut if off at the part when he asked: “Do you believe in angels and God? I do.”
I hope to meet him in a few centuries. It would be hard to believe that smile won’t be in the next life.
Wow, how touching, both sweet and sad. I love his smile. Thanks, LL.
Too young.
May he be blessed, granted eternal rest, and gaze upon the beatific vision of our Lord….
RIP
