Basketball Tragedy

Man is like a mere breath; His days are like a passing shadow. (Psalms 144:4 NAS)

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes.(James 4:14 NAS)

Grabbed these images off the news sites.  They show the last few minutes of High School Junior Wes Leonard's life.  Moments after that team picture was taken, Wes collapsed and died from a heart attack as a result of an undiagnosed enlarged heart.  He was in great shape and was a gifted athlete.  His family, friends and school are reeling today from his sudden and unexpected death.

We all like to live our lives on the belief that we have plenty of time.  The Bible warns us that we don't know what the next day, even the next minute will hold.  I can't imagine the anguish that Wes's loved ones are going through right now.  Let us allow this tragedy to remind us that we do not know our days, only God does.  We should never forget that nor live our lives ignoring Him.
