I truly can not identify with Tony's thinking. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I haven't been where he is. But it's an encouragement to know that, while in the midst of knowing that your days are short on this earth, Christians can find comfort and inner peace.

It was not my intention to imply that.

The article was an encouragement to me that *my* faith will comfort *me* and give *me* inner peace when confronted with frightful situations.
