Ex-Kentucky basketball star Casey dies at 60

I read this short blurb on former basketball player Mike Casey.

60 is such a young age to die. Heart complications. Barring congenital hear problems it just shows that no matter how much or what we do, the inevitable happens.

Does that mean that we should just not care? While there is not much we can do to stop the inevitable from happening, there is a lot that we can do to slow it down or a bad thing, speed it up. It depends on how we take care of ourselves in the meantime.

In the end it does matter what we do. The quality of life we enjoy or not for the most part is in our hands, especially in countries where there is abundance. If we were fortunate to be born there, why waste the opportunity?

My condolences to the Casey family.

" And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Rev 21:4
