Emphasis Preaching Journal

When John Kennedy was in the White House, underlings would complain to him about something or other being "unfair." Kennedy is reported to have snapped back, "Life is unfair!" And so it is. One time I visited the hospital and witnessed a young child being wheeled down the hall. This child's head was shaved and, I assume, he was being treated for cancer. That doesn't seem fair. I buried a fifty-year-old man who left a family. That's too young to die. Life is unfair. An oilrig capsized in Louisiana. Ten men died. That doesn't seem right.
