Frank Yan of Sacramento on Is There an Increase Chance of Death?

After Frank’s workout, Frank was listening to a program on a Sacramento radio station from his comfort of his home in Sacramento, Ca. The speaker mentioned that there was a highly increased chance of death if you are overweight, diabetic, or smoke. Wow!! Frank thought the chance of death was 100%. What is the chance of death with any of the above said? It can’t be MORE than 100%, can it?

Someone must not proofread their material. Frank Yan believes that what they meant was that the chance for an earlier than normal death was increased by any or all of the aforementioned factors. It’s a small distinction that Frank knows, BUT, in the world we live in today where people are supposed to be getting smarter and smarter…… Right?


It just shows you that you cannot rely on spell check every time to catch everything. Everybody seems to want to rely in this world of technology and applications for everything. What is next? We have cashiers that cannot make change and these high school graduates that can do calculus and physics, but can’t balance their own checkbook or credit card statements. We have people that can’t read a map, what happens when your GPS fails? Do you immediately go buy another or drive around Sacramento until you stumble across your destination?


We see major newspapers that contain more errors than Frank was ever allowed in a high school report. Nobody seems to fact check, but then this isn’t a real major newspaper. Frank has seen roads with directional signs that seem to be intended to confuse out of area travelers. Try being from out of the area and driving around in another country without getting in a wreck. People from out of the area need road signs placed well before a turn in one standard location (so they can be found), not on wires across the road, then on a pole on the right corner, then on a post on the left side of the street, etc.


Frank Yan wants to know who really thinks there is an increased chance of death. Frank also likes to know why these types of errors that are occurring. Is it that we are ALL way too busy to verify things? Perhaps there is just too much knowledge that we think we know? Why don’t we just concentrate on teaching students things in school that everybody will use in their normal everday lives? Not everybody, in reality only a small percentage, will EVER need calculus and physics, but everyone should be able to spot errors such as, spelling errors, road signs that make no sense, common, increased chance of death, etc. Everyone should be able to balance a checking or credit card account and
count money without a calculator.

“Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.John 3:16

This brief passage has become one of the most recognized biblical references in the culture. It seems such a simple statement, but it reveals nothing less than the full, complete meaning of the Incarnation. It tells us everything we need to know about the Nature of God. These few, uncomplicated words, describe, perfectly, the mystery of God’s love for us with a simple and confident clarity. These few words reveal the central insight of Christianity: that though we had turned away from God, his love for us was not diminished, rather it was increased by and through his compassion for us. The very next verse tells us that the Son, Jesus, did not come to condemn the world, but that through him it might be saved.

The meaning of this passage comes profoundly alive for us in the light of faith. All of Jesusmiracles, all of his wise words, his parables, his confrontations with the authorities, indeed, his arrest, his suffering, his death and resurrection find their ultimate meaning in this single passage. The Incarnation is the greatest act of love the world has ever known. It is the revelation of an unconquerable love, a love that gives reason and meaning to all of creation and to each and every single human being. It is the ultimate love note to creation. In the Incarnation, God sends his love to all of us, not just in the fragility of human words, but in the flesh. Do you remember how you felt the first time someone told you that they loved you? Well, this passage, and the reality it speaks about, is God telling us of his profound, unconditional love for each and every one of us. How does that make you feel? Remember when that loved other told you that he or she loved you, how you knew at that moment that you would do anything, suffer anything for them? Well, a Christian who understands the full meaning of the love that God has expressed for us in this passage, is so filled with gratitude that he or she wills to do nothing less than that for God in return. Amen!
