What's More Important...

What is this world coming to... I wonder how long will it be before God returns... there's so many crazy things going on in the world that I don't see why He has come already... I'm grateful He hasn't come yet, because I know for myself I'm not ready but I need to prepare myself cause I know His return isn't to far...

this year I've read about so many different ppl dying that I one point during this summer it become an expected thing for some celebrity or some public figure to pass away... it was crazy, jus about every other day the news, papers and the tv stations were talking about someone else who passed away, either from a disease or jus having their lives taken away by someone else... but this blog isn't going to go into all that... I'm jus thinking bout what's been going recently with athletes these days and how we as a society view the things they do and get away with...

Earlier this spring we had Donte Stallworth an NFL player who after a night out on the town and after a few drinks runs over and kills a man... is found guilty of driving under the influence and marijuana in his system but is only given 30 days in jail(he only served 24 days of that) and pays the family of the person he killed an X amount of money to settle out of court...

Before that you had Mike Vick who two years ago was found guilty for funding a dog fighting operation in Virginia where many dogs were found dead and ravaged... he ends up spending 18mnths in jail and loses his right to play football for 2yrs...

And finally you have Plaxico Burress who shoots himself in the leg because his gun accidently goes off while he's walking up there stairs(apparently he tripped gun was in his pants he went to grab and somehow pulled on the trigger) and is found guilty of illegal gun possession and given 2years in jail...

After observing these three case it doesn't make sense to me... its as if what Stallworth did was less important then what the other two did... even though he actually took someone else's life... where's the value and importance here... are we as a society say hey its okay of you kill someone as long as you've got money to settle the case then your good... are we saying its okay to run over someone and take a human life but to shoot yourself with an illegal gun is frowned upon... are dogs lives more important then a person's life...

There's so many questions that can be asked about all three situations but its a sad thing to see that our court system is all jacked up... I wonder what would they have down back in Jesus' time... I bet Stallworth gets hung on the cross unless he's got money and can pay off the family as well... I bet Vick continues to fund the dog fighting considering ppl back then would also consider it a sport(seeing has they had human fighting each other and fighting the likes of lions to stay alive in the Coliseums)... and I bet Plaxico is jus looked upon as an idiot for shooting himself with his bow and arrow...

I wonder what God has to say about all this... I'm hoping one day I'll get to ask Him... but I gotta get to working on making sure I'm around to see Him so I can ask...
