Sad Commentary

What a sad commentary this story is on our societal values.

Hundreds of people, one after the other, stepped on the 34-year-old store employee in an effort to get the "best deal". Are you kidding me? What deal is so important that it's worth lining up 9 hours before opening, standing in a crowd of thousands, breaking doors, and trampling on another human, ultimately taking his life?

I consider myself to be quite the sale shopper but nothing, absolutely nothing, is worth that to me. I don't even venture near a retail store the day after Thanksgiving, probably because I don't have the right mentality.

Life is valuable....prices are not...things are not. Mob mentality is frightening. I heard someone say once "a person is smart; people are dumb." I think that fits here.

If only we'd learn to view life as God does. Every single one of us is loved by God, from conception to their natural, appointed death.
