			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you don&#8217;t know who <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Pausch" target="_blank">Randy Pausch</a> is &#8212; well &#8212; you should.  He was diagnosed with cancer last fall &#8211; told he had 6 months to live.  Well &#8211; his time to return home has come, he <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=4614281" target="_blank">passed away this morning</a> &#8211; he beat the 6 months, but cancer finally caught up with him.  Fortunately for us &#8211; the cancer didn&#8217;t really beat him though &#8211; he showed each of us that we have the power within ourselves to reach our dreams, regardless of what odds are stacked against us.</p>
<p>I watched his &#8220;Last Lecture&#8221; just a few days after it was posted online.  It inspired me to action &#8211; and his death reminds me of the commitments I made to myself nearly a year ago.  I have dreams to accomplish &#8211; and need to set out to accomplish them &#8211; regardless of the trials that beset me.  If you haven&#8217;t seen it yet &#8211; I&#8217;d start by watching it (it is an hour &#8211; so be sure to set aside an hour that you won&#8217;t be interrupted &#8211; it is worth it):</p>

<p>Randy &#8211; you have left a legacy behind you.  To Jai and your children &#8211; we are praying for you &#8211; and I know that Randy is hard at work preparing the path for each of you once you one day meet again in the life to come.</p>
<p>Thanks Randy for making this world a better place than it was before you came.</p>
