As you may know, Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary, recently died after a prolonged battle with cancer. For those who had listened to him in whatever context he was a voice of decency and moderation. Christianity Today recently published an essay by Tony Snow, Cancer's Unexpected Blessings.

His essay makes fine reading for those who are in touch with their mortality - something we all should be. We commend this essay to you as a voice from someone who's been there. Again, it can be found here.
