Life is fragile...
As this story so aptly illustrates. In short, a barge knocked over several columns on a bridge in Oklahoma, causing it to collapse. Up to 20 cars fell into the swift moving river, and to date four people have been confirmed dead... chances are, many more will be shown to have lost their lives this weekend. This was supposed to be a weekend of vacation, sun and fun, barbeques and spending quality time with the family. For some, this weekend will have turned into tragedy, mourning and grief.
If life for these people could turn on a dime, what makes us think that we are immune from this? Is it any wonder that Jesus urged us to live each day as if it were our last?
Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. - John 5:25
