Out of Place

At the cancer walk mentioned in the previous post, I saw another interesting sight. As we were walking to the main gathering area before the race started (it was officially a race, but most participants were walking to raise money for cancer research, not running to win the race that day), I saw some people sitting on the curb, smoking their cigarettes.
It seemed rather out of place – smokers at a cancer event. The first thing that came to mind was “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” On the other hand, the focus of the event was not lung cancer, so I suppose they weren’t totally incongruous. But there are lung cancer races. I guess those races would work about the same – some people actually running and the rest just participating.
“A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths.”
– Revelation 9:18
