There is something about most of us that makes us believe that untimely death only happens to other people. I know I fall in to that category. I jog daily and exercise and eat right and I assume I will live a long life barring an accident. I do have plenty of life insurance, but why should I?

But, lingering in the back of mine and most of our minds, the reality that we all know or have heard of someone that was way to healthy and just died. An Excite.com news story
this morning drove it home again.

Skip Prosser, a teacher and basketball coach at Wake Forest, died at his desk of a heart attack. He was 56 and a guy that took very good care of himself. He was athletic and exercised daily.

I hope he was one of those guys that did all the right things to ensure that his family will be OK. I truly hope that he had adequate life insurance in force.

Still feeling immortal? Do you have life insurance to protect your family?
