In a tale that rings true, a 60-year-old tourist met a tragic end during a sound and light festival in Bellview, Oregon. As the town’s celebrations reached a crescendo, a befuddled tourist, hailing from the Napa region of California, decided to elevate his experience – quite literally – by scaling a church tower.

At 6 p.m., with the church bell tolling in rhythm with the festivities, the adventurous tourist found himself in the belfry just as the bell swung forward with impeccable timing, delivering a final, fatal “clang.” Seconds later, as horrified onlookers looked on in disbelief, church chimes knocked him from the belfry and sent him tumbling into the realm of the dead. 

Authorities remain puzzled as to why the man sought to scale the church tower, but as the event organizer said later to the stunned crowd, “Ask not, ‘For whom the bell tolls.’ Ask instead, ‘Why dost thine face ring a bell?'”


This story, though sad, offers a powerful reminder. Life is precious and unpredictable. We may not always understand the path before us, and sometimes our choices can lead us astray. However, the message of Luke 15:7 offers hope: “There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

God’s love is boundless, and His forgiveness is always within reach. No matter how far we may have strayed, He welcomes us back with open arms. Take heart in this verse, and know that even in the darkest of moments, Jesus stands ready to guide you. Reach out and take His hand. Together, you can walk the path towards redemption and eternal life in Heaven. — Calvin, Managing Editor of the Cool Ghoul Gazette
