No I'm not referring to Jesus, although He is alive too. I just finished the book, Unbroken, that I mentioned in a post a few days ago. Again I was in tears over the book when Louie Zamperini dedicated his life to the Lord at a Billy Graham crusade. God's redemption is amazing! I got to the end of the book and it doesn't mention Louie's death at all, but it mentions dates in the 2000s. I looked at the publishing date and it was 2010. I immediately went to my computer to see if this man who endured SO much was still alive. Lo and behold, he was on the Jay Leno show just 5 days ago!!! He is 95 years old and still alive and seemingly still "with it" mentally. I cried again watching the clip on The Tonight Show. It's amazing to me what this man endured and the testimony that has come out of it. As I was reading the book, I kept thinking, I would just choose death. There is no way I'd want to live through all this. What a testimony to God's grace and redemption! I am in awe.
If you're interested in seeing this man, here's the link:

He was on the longest segment, I believe the fifth segment. Just amazing.
