I've had individuals that I knew who made some of these deadly choices; and I've narrowly managed to escape some bad choices myself. Often, in these situations I feel like I've had a guardian angel watching out for me. The nearest that I can figure is that it wasn't my time yet.JAllgoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10780405312099000525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521707361278055591.post-7027448618001894212009-06-17T08:14:08.068-07:002009-06-17T08:14:08.068-07:00The idea behind "The Good Die Young" tak...The idea behind "The Good Die Young" takes me back some years to a time when one of my students passed away. He faced many personal challenges in his short lifespan. The choices he made resulted in his transferring to an alternative school where he engaged in some risky behaviors. During lunch at school, he was riding his skateboard in a parking lot behind the school. One of his friends pulled up next to him in a pick up truck. He latched on to the side of the truck as it was leaving lost his balance, rolled under the truck and his life ended in an instant. So, rather than a chance card I think, sadly, a choice card was played. Each March 11th. I pray for my young friend and his family. 15 years have passed and the sadness of a life cut short too soon remains.emhttp://aproductofthe50s.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
