Grasping for Straws

There is a really sad article mentioned on WorldNetDaily today.

A sister's comment that she was comforted after her brother's death in a catastrophic car crash by knowing he died doing what he loved – drinking and driving fast – has stirred up a wave of outrage along the foothills of Colorado.

Lorie Flaherty told the Boulder Daily Camera after her brother was one of three people killed when a car going down a city street at 100 miles per hour hit a light pole and exploded into pieces that such an accident "really isn't a shock to any of us" who knew her brother.

"The thing that really makes me feel much better about this is they died doing what they loved to do – they were drinking, they were going fast and they were together," she told the newspaper. "It gives me comfort, it does, to know those three things."

Are people really grasping at things so flawed and irresponsible to give them hope when a loved on dies? This to me is incredibly sad. The only hope for someone who dies is Jesus Christ. If you are not in him, there is no hope. Thankfully he offers himself as a free gift. If you don't know him yet, seek him. Read Luke and Acts.
