What a way to go

From Sir Banagor comes this link about the sermon of a preacher in Florida: bq. OVIEDO, Florida (AP) -- A Presbyterian minister collapsed and died at the pulpit after saying "And when I go to heaven...," his colleague said. bq. The Rev. Jack Arnold, 69, was nearing the end of his sermon Sunday at Covenant Presbyterian Church when he grabbed the podium before falling to the floor, said the Rev. Michael S. Beats, the church's associate pastor. bq. Several parishioners with medical backgrounds tried to revive Arnold and paramedics were called, but he appeared to die instantly, Beats said. Cause of death: bq. The cause of death was believed to be cardiac arrest. He had bypass surgery five years earlier. Quick, painless and doing something you loved. Not bad!
