what a heart wrenching tragedy

We face daily challenges about our own lives and health but just imagine this?

heart wrenching

three small kids and two didn't even know their parents really - I ain't got no problems today

There are so many tragic stories around that I am developing an immunity to them.

Its not that I don't sympathise - its just that my stock of sympathy is depleted.

yes I share your thoughts too! but sometimes the Lord says " at least we an pray for them a little while"

As a galvanised atheist I cannot subscribe to that.  I see no point in prayer whatsoever. However, if it brings some people comfort, so be it. I would rather have a glass of full bodied red wine.

in heaven they have a machine called an anti- galvaniser or was that anti- calviniser for removing the mire- anyway either way it won't hurt but you will feel terrible humbled!!

Davo   " either way it won't hurt but you will feel terrible humbled!! "

I have known Mr Ho for a good many years and I can assure you that there are few in the world more humble than he.
He does not advertise his humility, but if you could see the enormous collection of Humility Awards on display in his home you would be quite amazed how just one man could earn so much adoration.

hero worship is often short lived!

I too feel that it is a terrible tragedy, and I too am a confirmed atheist, and cannot therefore believe in  praying. A complete waste of time as far as I am concerned, but if it turns some people on I respect their right to do it.

spoken like a true atheist! - thank you andsome!

Its a pleasure.

I was a confirmed atheist until I experienced the calling and became galvanised.

I'm going for my black belt next.

the mind boggles - Alan in a white smock; black belt and standing on his new artificial lawn - watch ya don't burn ya feet!

Well that should prevent you from going rusty.
