Responsible journalism lesson to me...I included the verse from Deuteronomy but failed to explain that I was using God's definition of life rather than ours. Sorry if I caused undue stress.

Life = "to love the LORD your God; to walk in his ways; and to keep his commands, decrees and laws."

Death = "to turn your heart away from God; to be disobedient; to be drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them."
