If you liked "The Last Lecture", another fantastic memoir I just read and highly recommend is "My Stroke of Insight" by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Her TEDTalk video (ted.com) has been seen as many times as The Last Lecture I think, and Oprah did 4 shows on her book, so there are a lot of similarities. In My Stroke of Insight, there's a happy ending though. It's an incredible story! I hear they're making it into a movie. How inspiring Randy Pausch is!

Going in space, his stuffed annimal collection, playing in the NFL, or working for Disney??!! Ashly- the verse I mentioned refers to all things relating to works without faith. That WAS the summary of Randy's lecture. Randy has led a rich full life and maybe as Dennis wrote inspired people to get off the couch and live life. I was asked what I would be doing if I were dying-well I have no idea. But if Oprah, or Sawyer ever interviewed me,dying or not, I certainly wouldn't say that my faith was a "private matter?!"

His message is nothing more than a watered down "liberal-friendly" summerization of the bible. This guy spent his life discoverying things that most learned as a child. To the typical person that wastes their lives eating bon-bons and watching Oprah, he is a God-send, to the small percentage of us that live thier lives quietly to the fulliest, he is a just another joe. His message is for the masses, "Get off you couches and live!". To the people that are doing it already, its like no shit, try to keep up with me! Take care ladies.... I love it when there’s a chick fight!

The accomplishments of Professor Pausch aren't materialistic in the least. Everyone is so enamored with his life because he seems to have really LIVED it. He seems to have had his priorities straight, his heart in the right place, his head in the game unlike most of us. He has led a very clean, decent, loving life.. He struck me as a VERY faithful man and, frankly, it's none of our business which religion he is. As a Christian I pray that he knows Jesus - but Christianity teaches us that we never know a man's heart - only God does. And I believe (because the bible says it) that applies to the little, old, church lady that has occupied the same pew since 1954 and taught Sunday school for 30 years just as it applies to the drug dealer around the corner.. Honestly, I believe it is a WASTE of time for a woman of faith to sit around pondering wether or not a person she doesn't even know is getting into heaven..there are people you do know that need your concern, your prayers and maybe even your opinion.. Marcella,

He is teaching us how to live not how to die. Where he goes from here is up to God. What you take from his words is up to you. God lives in us. I have faith in Humankind too.
