Randy Pausch...an inspiration

As I try to recover from my ever looming head cold, I have been surfing the net trying to entertain my brain. I never know what I'm going to run across while I read random pages from people who see fit to put their thoughts and feelings out there for everyone to peruse.

Tonight I found out that Randy Pausch had died. He died on July 25. He was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer over a year ago, and was told that he had 3 to 6 months to live. What made the world take note of him was his "Last Lecture" that he delivered to the CMU graduates last year. Below, you will find a small part of his lecture and part of an interview that he gave...




While his lecture was not notably spiritual in nature, he managed to speak some of the teachings of Jesus anyway. I can only hope that the graduates will take the next step and realize not only what does not bring joy and fulfillment, but Who does.
