Finishing Well: Lessons from Hitler, Einstein, and Walt Disney
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 
Three friends from three different generations died last month. All of them knew Jesus, but their passings were sobering and mostly unexpected.
On Friday, I drove two hours to see another friend who was recently given thirty days to live. We enjoyed a wonderful twenty minutes together and finished our time at his home with prayer. I told him that our next meeting would "be on the other side."
Then a couple of days ago, I was between flights at the San Francisco airport on my way home from Washington, D.C. and thumbed through some biographies of Adolph Hitler, Albert Einstein and Walt Disney. I was especially interested in their "last days" since I'd been dealing with death recently.
All three did not finish well. There's much we can learn from their stories.
I want you to finish well. So do I.
