Unless there is some evidence that
his lawyer had clued him in on this
eradication-of-guilt-after-death
scenario, and Lay actually found some
means of inducing that massive heart
attack, the only possible answer is
that there IS a Higher Power watching
over the lives of us all.
I've always found comfort in that
passage about His eye being on the
sparrow. Somehow the Universe, vast
as it is and even ever-expanding, takes
on a different perspective.
