How the Mighty Fall


As I looked at the contrast between these two photographs,It brings a sort of sadness to me. First of all, I see a wasted life,a life that for all intents and purposes could have been remarkably better used especially given his ability to lead and motivate the masses ( even though terror was often the motivation) he still could have done so much good. The oil revenue that Iraq could have cashed in on alone could have put it in a much better economical situation than what it is in now.
I see a once proud,confident man who thought himself very important.I would hope in his last days some word of the gospel was able to get a hold on him and he walked out on that trapdoor having peace in his heart with God. It really shocked me this morning as I was watching the video of him being brought out and the noose was placed around his neck, this wasn't a movie! I was watching a man within moments of his death.
