DAVID BLOOM'S LAST E-MAIL [Rod Dreher]
NBC reporter David Bloom, who died last week in Iraq, sent a final e-mail to his wife on the eve of his death. It was eerily prescient, almost an epitaph. David was a born-again Christian; a friend of mine who was in a men's prayer and Bible-study group with him says David was passionately devoted to his family and his God. That friend told me David's last e-mail was read aloud in a deeply moving Friday meeting with his prayer partners, at which a number of David's NBC colleagues were present. It was no surprise to those who knew David best, it seems, when he said in that communique (this taken from the MSNBC.com story): “[W]hen the moment comes in my life when you are talking about my last days, I am determined that you and others will say ‘he was devoted to his wife and children, he was admired, he gave every ounce of his being for those whom he cared most about… not himself, but God and his family.’"

There really is no comparison. It's like comparing Wal-Mart to Tiffany. Or Payless to Jimmy Choo. It's not even close in quality or content.
