Truly sad day...

Lots of people knew Senator James Rhoades--or at least knew of him. He helped a hell of a lot of people get jobs, he cared deeply for education, and he brought back money to his district which bettered persons.. He will be missed tremendously. It got me thinking.. God is something, eh? Life is something, too. Here one day and gone the next. .And though Senator Rhoades didn't have national fame, the local Schuylkill county PA and surrounding counties knew and respected him. But he wasn't superhuman. He died in a very human way like a lot of other people: In a car accident. The death of Senator Rhoades came as a shock for Harrisburg Capitol politicians, and for common citizens .. even more of a shock because it shows how fragile life is regardless of fame, wealthy, power or fortune. We are all in this together..
