Finding Hope in Perilous Times

Early Sunday Morning, a helicopter crashed into a home in Kenosha Wisconsin. The two people aboard died instantly, but the five people inside the house escaped unharmed. The helicopter belonged to Midwest Aviation Services. Information as to why it was flying at the time or if it even had clearance was not found. Also, it did not have a designated flight plan, but flight plans, although they provide safety, are not mandatory.

Wesley Bernhardt, of the Kenosha Fire Department stated, "Its an amazing miracle that no one was injured inside the home". Maybe the idea of a miracle is thrown around lightly, but in this case, it is quite miraculous. The house was heavily burned and the helicopter smashed through the center of the house. Despite the destruction, everyone inside made it out alive? This is indeed a tragedy, but it also provides hope. Imagine how much worse this situation could have been if the helicopter crashed into a school. In times of peril, looking for the good in a situation can help overcome a tragedy. In the case of the puritans, finding hope in their religion could helped them get through their hardships. Regardless of their eventual fallout, their willpower and faith lead them through years of peril. Perhaps they did create examples for the future.
