CATASTROPHE II

"Stubborn and ardent clinging to one's opinion is the best proof of stupidity." - Michel de Montaigne

It is one thing to be obliviously unaware of something dangerous, and fall victim. It is also another to be ignorant of how dangerous something is, failed to get a warning then get hurt. The height of it all is, to be aware of how dangerous something is, receive adequate warning of impending danger, and yet refuse to listen and then get hurt. That is the height of folly!

It was 10:15 p.m. when the front wall of the storm came ashore. Scientists clocked Camille's wind speed at more than 205 miles-per-hour, the strongest on record. Raindrops hit with the force of bullets, and waves off the Gulf Coast crested between twenty-two and twenty-eight feet high. News reports later showed that the worst damage came at the little settlement of motels, go-go bars,
and gambling houses known as Pass Christian, Mississippi, where some twenty people were killed at a hurricane party in the Richelieu Apartments. Nothing was left of that three-story structure but the foundation; the only survivor was a five-year-old boy found clinging to a mattress the following day.

Like the victims of the Hurricane Camille at Pass Christian, Mississippi our generation is constantly being warned, of the dangers of unrighteousness. These warnings are on Television, Radio, on the internet - even as we ride in the bus. Yet, we laugh it off with impending destruction of our souls. If we will cling to him, he will save us like the little boy who clung to the mattress. Listen, Jesus is calling.
