Life is so precious that it is easy to take it for granted.

The Bible contains a universe of truths about what it means to be a human being.

The fact of life

The book Proverbs, Chapter 27, Verse 1 defines the truth at the center of that universe, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day will bring.”

The following statements show how humans who lack caution create situations that do not end well.

Consider this list a warning about the consequences of wrong actions.

The reasons for some endings

1. A lady said he whistled at her.

2. The skittles looked like a gun.

3. He tried to spend a fake $20 bill.

4. The cell phone looked like a gun.

5. Her front door was open.

6. He had a legal firearm in his car.

7. He sold loose cigarettes.

8. The pill bottle looked like a gun.

9. He sat on his sofa and ate ice cream.
