While driving in Florida, I happened upon a gruesome scene. Buzzards were devouring the remains of a deer. Road kill no doubt.
Earlier in the day, everything was normal in the deer's life. Little did it know that hours later, it would lay on the ground with a buzzard pecking out its eye.
One month later I photographed a media personality delivering a speech in Michigan. His glibness wowed the audience. If I recall correctly, a standing ovation followed.
Four days later he passed away from natural causes. He was middle aged. He never saw it coming.
Some people check out early. It can happen without warning. It's not dying early that should worry us. What's ominous is dying without having accomplished anything to earn God's approval.
