| Responsibility and Faith
Each morning as I get the coffee ready to start our day, I am greeted by the sounds of NPR coming from the kitchen radio. Most mornings the listening fare is light and abit corny, though that was not the tone today.
As I went about the daily routine, I heard the commentator say that an eleven year old girl had passed away needlessly in Wisconsin. This is not news to those of us listening around the country; death is a fact of life and though the loss of a child is grim, it does happen. The commentator went on to say that the parents of the child made the repeated decision to trust first their faith in God through prayer over the need to seek medical attention. This death was most probably preventable as the parents are charged with reckless homicide.
How do you relate this to your new life ?
