Goodbye Steve..................

In case you have not heard, Steve Irwin "The Crocodile Hunter" died recently. He was stung in the heart while filming a documentary on stingrays. My wife told me that this was the first documented case of a death by a stingray in 60 years.

I know that people had different opinions about Steve. Many thought he was insane. I thought the guy was awesome. This guy could have the life description of a comic book superhero. "He wrestled with crocodiles, anacondas, and sharks. The rattle of a rattle snake was not a warning for him, but and invitation." Steve did more than most people will do with their lives. He lived doing what he always wanted to do. He died doing exactly what he wanted to do with his life. If you died right now, would it be doing what you want to do in your life? If your life tragically ended short, would it be while you were living out your dreams and hopes for life?

My prayers go out to the Irwin family as they mourn the loss of their hero.
