In 1909, at Shiokari Pass in the mountains of Japan, a Japanese man, a new believer, threw his body onto the tracks in order to derail a runaway rail car and save the lives of those in the rail car.

This young believer imitated His Lord when He gave up his own life for others.

Ayako Miura later wrote a book about this and it was made into a movie by the Billy Graham organization.

Two tracks train derailed........

Hey thanks Mayflower, PLUS, regarding the "posting embedded articles" issue, though I believe in the value of disallowing those kind of posts, I want to APOLOGIZE for the method I used in order to bring that about. I did approach you first but VERY QUICKLY went to the moderator, an approach that was rather brutal. I want to sincerely apologize for that and thank you for your graciousness and Christian charity despite my tactics. Please accept my apology.

Even this old dog can learn new tricks.

(No time right now! .....
I have an appointment to advocate for the needs of very special person,
so I will write more a bit later)...

However, I just want to quickly tell you that I am deeply appreciative of your words of reconciliation; and, the spirit in which they are offered. (Laika, I forgave you long ago; so yes, I most warmly & sincerely accept your apology ) .

I want to share something with you:
When I read your post I experienced a sense of a "deep and abiding love " -- for Our LORD who can work for good in ALL situations; and, for you, my Brother In Christ.

I am in awe of how GOD works in our hearts.
WE THANK YOU, LORD!

Peace Be Unto You, Brother,
now and forever...

Did the young believer have any family; did he leave children to grow up fatherless? Regardless, did the young believer still not choose what he thought to be the lesser of evils?

Peace, Mark

1. God makes the choice for all people. Those not selected for eternal life have grounds for complaint.
2. God invites all but only some respond. Those who don't respond don't have any grounds for complaint, they got what they wanted.
