    Florida Preacher Dies During Sermon

    OVIEDO, Fla. (Jan. 11) - A Presbyterian minister collapsed and died at the pulpit after saying "And when I go to heaven...," his colleague said.
    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.

    Before collapsing, Arnold quoted the 18th-century Bible scholar John Wesley who said, "Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus," Beats said in a telephone interview.

    Several parishioners with medical backgrounds tried to revive Arnold and paramedics were called, but he appeared to die instantly, Beats said.

    Arnold had been the senior minister at the church in this Orlando suburb until the late 1990s when he began traveling to Africa and the Middle East to teach pastors.

    The cause of death was believed to be cardiac arrest. He had bypass surgery five years earlier.

    Bypass surgery? Why didn't he ask God to help him? Doesn't sound like a true believer to me. No wonder God struck him down.

    Maybe he wanted to stick around to keep on spreading the word for as long as he could. I believe he succeeded in what he believed in and died doing what he loved doing.

    Nelson Rockefeller also died while doing what he loved or is it who he loved?

    Where was Megan Marshak when Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller Died?
    In recounting old news stories similar to the Monica Lewinsky case, the press has often invoked the name of 27-year-old Megan Marshak, whom, they say, was at the side of former Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller when he died on January 26, 1979.
    However, that is a damn lie and everybody familiar with the case knows it. Megan Marshak was not "at his side" when Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack.
    Megan Marshak
    Where then was she?
    The official coroner’s report, issued by the competent New York State authority, states that Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack while he was having sexual intercourse. You can look it up in the archives at 28th Street and First Avenue (provided they let you look at this one).
    Megan Marshak was, in fact, underneath Nelson Rockefeller when he died.
