Saints... turn into martyrs (Greg, 2010-11-14)

And you know what that means; they end up dying because of what they believe. Admirable, I'm sure, but not exactly the career path I've always looked forward to. But is this 'saintly characteristic' just about dying? Or is it about the willingness to live for something bigger than your own survival? That makes sense to me, because while I hope to never have to die for anything, I sure hope I have the courage to live for something.
