Third, I am going to die someday and quite frankly it does not scare me anymore. I have been around enough death and came close enough many times I am not afraid of it per say. While I am not looking forward to it by any means I am at peace with it due to some experience in my past. Like a member here that has passed on used to say. Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. It is something we must all do but the media detracts from issues of importance by fanning the flames of fear.

What is going on at the border?
What about Iraq?
Is Russia going into Ukraine yet?
These have a bigger chance of causing a large impact on our lives than ebola yet they have seems to disappear when the POTUS stares jacking up the way he deals with the situation. What to see lots of death? Let the another large European war start and Ebola will be very unimportant in the amout of deaths in the world. Hell how many people will killed today in wars and crime around the world? A lot more than ebola killed and most were young healthy people that died.

You're right in the spirit of your argument, sir. Death creates its own perspective, and all the world can ever do is react to it.

So, today some more news.

A medical evacuation plane equipped with a special containment unit arrived at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Atlanta today at 11:20. Dr. Brantly was then transported to Emory University Hospital. Emory has an isolation unit set up in collaboration with the CDC to treat patients who are exposed to certain serious infectious diseases.

American Nancy Writebol, a missionary with SIM who also contracted Ebola in Liberia, is expected to arrive in Atlanta within the next few days.

“We thank God that they are alive and now have access to the best care in the world,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “We are extremely thankful for the help we have received from the State Department, the CDC, the National Institute of Health, World Health Organization and, of course, Emory Hospital.”

Seems that where death comes from don't matter a hill of beans. Death is gonna have its way in the end. All we seem to be able to do is react to it. Grieve it, fight it, and move on. Right now is a time to fight.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: (Ecc 3:1)
