Not sure I get the part about the rapper, but I pray that Ben is with Jesus.
Such a handsome young man with a beautiful smile. I am hoping his family takes some comfort that he is in a better place... healthy and loved by Our Lord. Thanks for posting, Jilliane!
Beautiful. Rest in peace, young man.
Yeah, I wondered about that, too. I did some reading on Kid Cudi, and the particular song(?) referenced was about raging against one’s fate. I can see how that might resonate with the young man under those circumstances.
When I saw that two days ago, it had 300 views. Now, it looks like 1.3 million.
Wow.....
Wow.....
I think it's the lyrics he quoted that matter.
Enough Said!!
Mat. 10:14 "permit the children to come to me; do not hinder them; for the Kingdom of God belong to such as these"

I dont understand why God takes children, But its not my job to understand. His plan is perfect every time....
His message undoubtedly will reach many kids his age that sadly, thoughts of where they will spend eternity is the last thing they worry about. They hear and spread God’s message more clearly when it come from one of their own, just as it did in the wonderful movie Soul Surfer.
While I was watching the video I couldn’t help but think how healthy he looked and how could he be dead? He is out of his suffering and in that peaceful place now. His parents probably wish he hadn’t died on Christmas. But his suffering is over.
I thought the same thing...thinking he should have looked pale and fragile. The message that he didn’t want to come back from the 12/6 near death and then he left us on Christmas feels like a miracle.
Is that an angel on the left side of the screen in the video that Ben made?
