thoughts on death



- Michael Jackson, the Lady mom used to do her hair after, and the Oxy-Clean guy all died recently. One of each gender.

Some people are glad about Michael Jackson, some people distraught. The best thing I can say about Michael Jackson is that someone made an AWESOME WoW parody of its "Billie Jean." Also, it brought a lot of humor into this world with its baby-dangling exploits.

- Fable 2 is not as good as Fable 1, in my opinion. This is because I am all about characters. I spent more time creating characters and writing them biographies on Icewind Dale 2 (my all time favorite game) than actually playing the game. Fable 2 gives you a hideously disproportionate character (Jay Leno was obviously their model) that will be in his mid-50s to mid-70s by the end of the game. Fable 1 did that too, but thanks to cheats and trainers on the PC, I could fix that. My character still looks like a cool hero is supposed to look, while in Fable 2, he looks like a pirate that lived through the Depression.

- Back to death. When the wicked fall, should we rejoice? it seems classless, but at the same time, the fact that they WILL fall is a source of comfort and encouragement. So when it happens, are we suppsoed to feign regret/remorse, or maybe just pity?

Amen to that

I don't think we are supposed to feign anything. We must be truthful. I think tactfulness is often necessary, but there is something to rejoice over. We can and I think should rejoice in God's faithfulness to His promise to destroy them, in the fact that the wicked will no longer be robbing God of Glory or blaspheming His name. On the positive side, we are rejoicing in God. On the negative side, we sorrow that another soul rejected Christ. As these two things are also events throughout life, death just seems to emphasize them, and recall them to us. Besides the reminder it is to be to us of the brevity of life, and all that.
