In an interview with Rolling Stone, actress Carrie Fisher was asked, "Do you fear death?"
"No," replied Fisher. "I fear dying. Anything with pain associated with it, I don't like. And I've been there for a couple of people when they were dying, and it didn't look like fun."

Possible Preaching Angles: Suffering; Trials; Pain—Ms. Fisher's quote provides insight into our culture's obsession with avoiding suffering and pain. Of course no one should pursue suffering, but we can live with an openness to walk with Christ even through the pain.
