ANNNNNND.. another double swing and a double miss

[RonD1120 58]

In my life taking risks are a personal decision. Praying to God while doing them provided a sense of comfort and therefore increased my awareness.

Romans 8:
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I do not think this is any great revelation.

It has been demonstrated that getting a Viking to die in battle is much easier if doing so is an instant ticket to Valhalla (the benefits package is AWESOME!).

Telling someone that they can either A) Live out their days in squalor in a fetid shithole or B) Get an instant Ticket to Paradise (tm) if they simply strap some explosives to themselves and go bang in an approved fashion has proved pretty effective. One more virgin into the fray!

The potential for reincarnation at an improved station convinced a large number of applicants to drive explosive laden craft into various vessels of one type or another.

You will find that people facing very real and uncontrollable dangers are much more superstitious than those whose reaction is "fuck that!." Sailors have relied on divine intervention before setting off on the briny deep as long as anyone could tell. It is harder to get up for the game with the knowledge that it was as much of a crapshoot as it has always been.

Anyhow, this story is of the 'dog bites man' variety.

Seems like a moot point. Life is a continual risk that we are destined to loose. None of us get out of here alive. Confidence in God does provide a sense of security for what comes next.

That is a funny joke. But I bet in 20 years driverless technology will be a standard feature and save the rest of people in your car. I am sure they will still be screaming because they will be sad to see you go.
