When Decisions have Fateful Consequences

The famous poem The Charge of the Light Brigade includes these haunting lines:

Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred…
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.

It’s a powerful reminder that people can—and often do—make wrong decisions, give poor advice, or issue misguided orders. And sometimes, others suffer the consequences. Tragedy can follow when trust is placed in flawed human judgment.

But there is good news. Even when earthly life is cut short by the mistakes of others, the hope of eternal life remains. In God’s mercy, no blunder can separate us from the life He offers forever.
