I was scanning the Internet today and bumbled onto a story that I think I found more irony than anything else, but I did sense sorrow too.
As you know, or may just will find out when you read the next line, it is Festival time. Over the past month, nationwide, stories have been surfacing about the numerous deaths, accidents, injuries that have occurred on the festive fun rides. Legs have been chopped off, necks snapped, concussions, you name it ... it is happening. It is happening in little backyard festivals and at the large attractions like Walt Disney World.
Well, Lifest (which looks strange when you read it) is a Christian festival in Wisconsin. It gathers the religious zealot's to the mildly amused by faith to those who have embraced a set of beliefs. Well, one lady is now dead.
This is lifted from the headlines:
An announcement about the death was made from a stage just after 9:30 p.m. The music continued but with more mellow worship songs. (She was bungee jumping, sorta)
What!?! The music slowed a bit, and the lighters came out and then Van Hallen took the stage?
A prayer service was held, and then thirty minutes later the music cranked up and the PARTY continued! I guess it is safe to say that even the most religious festivals are here to make money.
