Catastrophies

Wow, what a summer it has been. Death and destruction seem to be popping there little heads up around every corner. Millions of people a year leave everything to continue the circle of life and kick the bucket. If you lose a loved one, the world moves on. It shakes your world, but culture doesn't even seem to blink an eye. However, there are those few that have touched the lives of the world and at their passing the world gasps. Reality sets in. Yes, your really going to die. There is no avoiding it. Everyone of us has to face to music. Even if your made of almost all plastic, your going to face God in the end. We have seen some big names, culture icons, worldly idols depart from this world just recently:

Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson
Steve Mcnair

And just the other day I read a story about a local man that watched his wife pass away giving birth to their fifth child. What a heart break. Can you imagine? Just starting out, a large family, dependent on each other, and just like that its over. Now the dad has to mustier up the courage and ability to raise five kids on his own, with the painful reminder of his soul mates death in each of their eyes.

In the midst of our busy lives, our careers, our chores, our errands, our holidays and vacations, death reminds us that our lives are just vapor to the wind. Don't hold on too tightly to the things of this world. Without Jesus Christ all is in vain; you are alone, and have chosen to dwell in it.

If you're living like there is no God, you'd better be right... (and you're not, I promise you that)
