"I am gonna die."

We all are.

Just before Christmas, former Sen. Ben Sasse announced that he has an advanced case of cancer and he's going to die soon.

At one point, people talked about Sasse as a potential Republican presidential candidate. I always thought that was a little crazy, but I did think he should be the civics teacher for the United States. His love of America is rooted in an understanding of the gift that our country provides to the world.

Just as I started to sit down to write this column, I got a prayer request about a dying infant who doesn't have a fully developed brain. Sometimes death happens that quickly. Sometimes it's a few decades in. But we all face it, and even though we all face it, it still hurts. It's still painful. It still is something we're not fully prepared for.

There are so many pressures in our lives. There are so many struggles, there are so many........
