". . . For death is the destiny of every man." ~ Ecclesiastes 7:2 ~"MICHAEL JACKSON JUST DIED . . . " A voice shouted through the phone line. "I can't believe it!"
A few minutes later the words - Hey everyone, Michael Jackson just died - scrolled across the cell phone screen.
All throughout the evening and well into the night, many stressed in awe and disbelief because one of America's biggest entertainment icons had encountered death.
Somehow during the sorrow and stress of Michael's death, one person did say, "It's hard to believe, but it proves that no one is exempt from death."
Death is not, and has rarely ever been, a pleasant subject. Although inevitable, it always seems to be so unfortunate. It produces stresses of the greatest kind.
God's Word in Ecclesiastes affirms that death comes to us all. Contrary to Michael Jackson's multi-million dollar hit, "Beat It," there's no way to beat death.
So be encouraged, everyone . . . everywhere. Stop stressing, stop sorrowing, and ultimately believe that death comes to claim us all.
Extending prayer and peace to Michael Jackson's family, friends, and fans.

Hi Saundra Kay,
Yes, death is a part of this eternal realm and lives that lived must be celebrated.
I believe that Michael is in a Paradisical State and without pain or sorrow. The one's that suffer from death are the one's who are sad and left behind.
Death is inevitable and that is why we must live every moment of our lives as if it is our very last.
Happy Fourth of July S.K.

Elizabeth,
Absolutley! "Live every moment of our lives as if it is our very last." It could well be.
Thanks for continuing to De-Stress together.

I'm not entirely sure what to say. :'( i suppose.
