Two deaths, two lessons

Whatever is happening to human conscience? Medical workers walk by while a woman dies in the hospital corridor. What would Christ have done? How can they ever return to church on Sunday and praise the Lord after this terrible incident? Has religion and daily life parted ways? Has Christianity become a nice singalong show once a week and no longer carries the social message that Jesus preached 2000 years ago? Can it even be called Christianity anymore?

And meanwhile Bozo the Clown died. The antics of this clown carried a moral message served with laughter. Don't underestimated this character .... the fact that the word 'bozo" has entered daily language and the dictionary shows the influence of the clown on countless generations around the world. But obviously his moral lessons never got to the hospital where Esmin Green died.
