In memory of the one who tradmarked the word "Crikey!"

You live in a cave? If not, hopefully you heard about Steve Irwin, A.K.A. The Crocidile Hunter. You could also know him as that famous guy who say "Crikey!" Way to much. Yesterday he died while rideing a sting ray. Normally they are nice enough creatures. But in a freak accident, while he was rideing on the back of a stingray, The stingray was startled, stinging him, right in the heart. Normally a sting can hurt you, but the only way a ray can kill you is by a sting in the heart. Thats right, Monday, September 3'rd 06'  Steve Irwin died. Why did steve do the things he did? Some may say he wanted to die, I think, He was a guy who thought that A normal life like we all live, was just not enough, he wanted danger, he wanted excitment, he wanted to die haveing more adventure per day, than most of us have in our lifetime. Did he want to die? No. I think not. Was he brave? Yes. Will his memory live on for many years to come? Well, lets all hope so. No, I'm not going to say "Just Kidding!" or "NOT!" at the end of this post, I only wish I could... Let us all remeber Steve the Croc' Hunter as more than just the guy on TV that say "Crikey!" Too much, let us remember a man braver than most of us could ever hope to be. Was he crazy? Maybe a little. Was he funny? At times. But you know what? Steve did things that we should all remember, being brave, being a person who wasnt afraid of death.  Maybe as christians we all have somehting to learn from Steve. No, he wasnt christian. (I dont think he was at least.) but he wasnt afraid of death, and so, had the power to live life, maybe us christians should realise death is nothing to fear, and in doing so, realise that the purpose of life, as much as it is talked about and wondered about, is very simple when you think about it... Live your life for god, and jesus. Steve, I hope you know were thinkin' about you here. so Steve Irwin, The Crocidile Hunter, lets all give you a big hearty, "Crikey!" and say, Farewell.
