Tony Snow Died Today

Tony Snow worked for Bush Sr., worked at Fox News and then worked for Bush Jr. He died today after a long struggle with colon cancer. Read his obit here, or watch the video from Brit Hume below. It is odd how TV brings people you've never met into your home and, consequently, into your heart. I was a rabid Fox News junky in my early twenties and always admired Snow. I liked it that he was a hard news guy, was politically savvy, was a dedicated husband and father, and played the guitar and flute. Cool. Thankfully, he is worshiping Jesus today. He wrote a piece for Christianity Today last year entitled "Cancer's Unexpected Blessings." I hope that, while you read it, you pray for his family.
