This past week, there was a terrible, horrendous tragedy that struck tourists enjoying a boat ride in one of southwest Missouri's well-known amusement parks.
It seems that a "duck boat" with 29 passengers and crew got caught in a squall-line of thunderstorms that turned a tranquil lake into a raging, storm-tossed sea, causing the tiny boat to be swamped with whitecap-waves.
Right before the eyes of those taking videos of the event, the SOBs (souls on-board -- as we used to refer to those on board a ship or boat when I was in the Coast Guard back in the mid- to late-70's) had their lives snuffed out within a very short minute or two.
Gone, were fifteen tourists and crew. Sadly, included in this disaster were nine members of one family!
Let that sink in: nine members of one family, ranging in age from 76- to a 1-year-old!
When a soldier succumbs to an enemy's bullet, it is almost expected; the loss is "tolerated" as a consequence of the battle. But to see such an unnecessary loss of life of innocent (non-combatants) is heartrending beyond comprehension.
As we have recently seen, when such unexplainable, incomprehensible events occur, there are candle-light vigils; memorial services and prayer gatherings held for the deceased, and rightly so.
However, I cannot recall to mind or hear of any candle-light vigils; memorial services or prayer gatherings held for the nearly 3,000 pre-born babies killed in this country every single day by Murder, Inc. (aka: "planned parenthood").
Please pray for those who died, as well as for their families.
And pray for an end to the tragedy of abortion...
