Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Whenever there is a sudden tragedy, I remember my father would always quote Matthew 25:13 in those situations. He would shake his head and repeat the verse softly, almost as if praying (which he probably was). I find myself doing the same thing every time disaster strikes.
The news of the horrific accident outside Reagan airport tonight is a sobering reminder of our mortality. All the technology in the world cannot prevent human error. Terrible things like plane crashes will still happen to us.
We don't know when it's our day to go. Always be ready.
