What He Said
Camelot Capers

I love to ski and have taught my three children how to ski. But if you don't follow a few simple guidelines, it can be dangerous.

The Kennedy family is known for its daredevil antics and backyard football games. While in Aspen, Colorado, they decided to combine skiing with football. They were repeatedly warned by the ski patrol that their football game on skis wasn't allowed, but they didn't care. After all, they're the Kennedys—powerful, rich, adventurous. No one could tell them what to do. But the rules weren't there to spoil their fun; they were there to protect them. Sadly, the Kennedys learned that lesson too late. Michael Kennedy was going out for a pass when he lost control and ran headfirst into a tree. At first, laughter broke out at the awesome wipeout, but the laughter soon turned to fear when he didn't get up right away. Michael never got up.

Ignoring God's warning signs can also be deadly.
