I too just ...Thanks for posting about Heath here... I too just felt sideswiped when I heard the news. Poor depressed, non-sleeping, young Heath... poor daughter. It reminded me of River Phoenix's death too... struck down at the heights.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me we're not in control at all, and it makes me shake.Madleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071964420488251454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-30886049163796834762008-01-23T15:00:00.000-08:002008-01-23T15:00:00.000-08:00It just sucks, right?

He was jetlagged from working in London and flying home, we've all been there.<BR/>He had pneumonia and was taking meds for that. We've been there.<BR/>Maybe he just took an extry sleeping pill, the way i would take an extra Darvacet because one was just not killing the pain in my herniated disc.<BR/>Maybe my heart would stop.<BR/>There's nothing to be read into here. At least I don't think so. This was just a bad night with the flu. Nice guy. Not a great guy. Not a bad guy. talented, but not the greatest in the world. Better actor than most, not as good as others. A father that loved his daughter, like so very many others.<BR/>I don't know that "God" has anything to do with this. I think it's just a crappy day for a good guy. <BR/>But, that's just me.Allen Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572137416801958769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-38531492289403260702008-01-23T13:15:00.000-08:002008-01-23T13:15:00.000-08:00Susan, it is still true that God is in his heaven ...Susan, it is still true that God is in his heaven and all is actually right with the world. Justice and mercy are as eternal as prayers. <BR/><BR/>Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.<BR/><BR/>Let nothing disturb you. Nothing frighten you. All things are passing. God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Nothing is wanting to him who posesses God.<BR/><BR/>God knows "fair" a lot better than we do. He'll take care of it.<BR/><BR/>These aren't platitudes. They're matters of Faith, and more solid than rock.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163649031423865626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113442.post-37007725330169754022008-01-23T11:21:00.000-08:002008-01-23T11:21:00.000-08:00I was pulling into a parking spot at Wild Oats (so...I was pulling into a parking spot at Wild Oats (soon to be Whole Paycheck) when I heard the news on the radio, and I literally gasped, had to stop the car, and just stare in shock. I wandered around the store in a daze and cried about it more than once. You are so right: it is senseless, and again that "overdeveloped sense of justice" I've been told I have reared its head when I started comparing him to others, the way you did here. I can't stop thinking about it now, about his daughter especially.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553145979283388517noreply@blogger.com
