I was out this afternoon and arrived home from running errands to hear of his death on the news. I was completely shocked. I thought he would be around forever. Truely, everyone did. No one woke up this morning and thought that Michael Jackson would die today. It's when shocking things like this happen that I realize the undeniable truth of man's mortality and how fleeting life is.
Each day is a gift from God, and not a given right.
One thing I admired about Michael Jackson was how he related to people, and portrayed that through his music and dancing. That was why so many people loved him. I grew up with Michael Jackson's music, and I think I died a little inside when I heard the news.
The world will never see another man so truely influential and significant to his time and culture as Michael Jackson was. He was the top leading cultural influence for generations, as a result of his popular, outstanding award-winning songs and dances (Thriller <3), and world tour concerts. The man was a legend, and left a lasting legacy and impact on our time.
Michael Jackson certainly left his claim to fame. He will be remembered throughout future generations as the iconic legend that he was, and still remains today.
Today, I mourn the loss not only of an amazing one-of-a-kind iconic performer, but also the death of a fellow human being, one that I had often looked up to in years gone by...a soul who now meets his Creator and his future eternity, whatever that may be.
God have mercy on his soul.
Although his later years were not as productive and definitely not as radical or morally significant as his early years, he was one of the best-loved artist and greatest performers history has ever known.
Michael Jackson's sudden death today was a true loss for the entire world, and I hope that they will now view life in a different way because of it.
Michael Jackson, here's to you...you were like none other.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
