The now-Late Kenneth Lay

When first I saw the headline in the NY Times this morning:

Ex-Chairman of Enron Dies
"Kenneth L. Lay died of a heart attack, early reports said. He faced a long prison term for ten counts of fraud and conspiracy..."

I thought, "Wow, he got away!"

But my second and most peaceful thought was:

"No, now like the Hebrew National Hot Dog commercial says, 'We have to answer to a higher authority.' And so does, the late-Lay."

WORD...

"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment..." Hebrews 9:27 (NIV)

"For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:14 (NIV)

So it is...so shall it ever be.
