KEV COLEY'S THOUGHT 4 THE DAY- INNOCENT ERROR DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES?
There have been some arguments as to the way the Maddy investigation is being carried out. One of the latest issues to arise is the McCann’s anger over claims that Gerry had received a string of mystery texts the day before Maddy vanished. I can appreciate these slurs are annoying for the family. But I don’t understand why providing the mobile phone information has become an issue. A source close to the McCanns said: "They have had their phone records available for inspection for months. But the police never asked for them and now that they have formally asked, they have been refused. Maybe it’s just me. If I was innocent I would want the phone records to be handed to the Spanish police ASAP. The sooner this is done Gerry can be exonerated and everyone can concentrate on other unsolved puzzles related to this abduction. Or is it murder? Or is it accidental death? Or is it the concealment of a corpse? Or is it neglect? I don’t know but the very least we can say is that Maddy was left alone while her parents were out dinning with friends. This is a cruel twist of fate considering Maddy was just fifty yards away from her parents. But distance and safety depends on context. If a three year old was walking on the edge of a busy road and her parents were one yard away but they were not holding her hand or observing the child to prevent it from stepping out into on coming traffic, they would be negligent. If you lived in a semi-detached house would you feel comfortable to go and visit the neighbour’s adjoining house and have a coffee and a chat with your friends for half hour as you left your three year old daughter sleeping in a cot between two younger children? Some parents would. Others would never dream of it. Leaving a three year old kid alone for half an hour might not be negligence. But it’s not always the best supervision either. There doesn’t have to be a fire in the house. No burglar has to sneak in through a window? No fiend has to enter the house and take your child. But something should be in place in the unlikely event of these things happening. With regards to Maddy no person was close enough to hear the forcing open of the shutters. If a baby sitter had been present the abductor could not have entered the window, or easily have hidden in the house or walked out of the front door with Maddy in his arms, unless the he was invisible and the baby sitter was blind.
Gerry and Kate checked on their kids every 30 minutes. This shows that they were responsible parents, as a friend said ‘the McCanns are a superb mother and father’ and ‘they are a very loving family’. But in hindsight we see that superb and loving parents can make slight errors of judgment. And when they do those slight errors of judgment can sometimes have devastating consequences.

KEVIN COLEY'S THOUGHT 4 THE DAY-WEAR YOUR KEVLAR!
An army officer told the Sun newspaper of his miracle escape when a rocket-propelled grenade bounced off him.
“Lt David Robertson was struck in the chest by the missile, fired by a Taliban terrorist in Afghanistan. Incredibly it ricocheted off his body armour and exploded against his Warrior armoured vehicle – and David escaped with just minor arm wounds.
The 30-year-old from 4th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland (The Highlanders), said:
“I saw it coming at me head-on. I was knocked back hard, and then there was a bang and a heat wave. My body armour saved me.”
David, of Inverness, is usually based in Germany. A defence expert said:
“Thanks to his armour we are celebrating the survival of a hero and not mourning the loss of a brave officer.”
WOW. How cool is this? The soldier came under attack was knocked back hard, felt the heat of a missile and was bombarded by an explosive loud bang. And he died; NOT. Thankfully the soldier was wearing his body armour and survived with receiving only minor injuries. So come on Christians. You might not be in a battle like the one being fought in the Middle East, but you are in a spiritual war zone so,
‘ Put on the full armour of God’ says the Apostle Paul, ‘so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes’ Ephesians 6:11.
Don your spiritual Kevlar. Take hold of Christ’s righteousness, thank the Lord for your salvation, proclaim the gospel truth, ready yourself for biblical service, live by faith, and walk humbly before your God. And like all the surviving heroes of Scripture we will be more than conquerors.

KEVIN COLEY'S THOUGHT 4 THE DAY PRINCESS DIANA DODI FAYED -Unlawful Killing
An inquest has ruled that Princess Diana and her lover Dodi al-Fayed were unlawfully killed by the grossly negligent driving of their chauffeur and paparazzi photographers pursuing them into a Paris road tunnel 10 years ago. Mr al Fayed has long believed that the Duke of Edinburgh and MI6 murdered the couple through a staged crash. It seems to me that everyone is to blame for Diana and Dodi’s death other than the happy couple themselves.
But could Diana and Dodi be partly to blame? If Diana had been wearing her seat-belt the injuries which she sustained in the crash may not have been fatal. And if Henri Paul was as drunk as the forensic tests and CCTV evidence suggests any reasonable person would not have got into the car with him. The passengers must have smelt the alcohol on his breath. Unbuckled seat-belts and the willingness to get into a car with a drunk driver will in a court of law be defined as contributory negligence. Diana could have taken some reasonable precautions towards her own safety in this matter. But how many times have we not fastened our seatbelts? How many times have we gotten into a car with a driver who has consumed alcohol? As I look back over the years that thought sends a shudder down my spine. Let’s take all reasonable precautions when we are out on the roads. It may save us from sharing the same fate as Dodi and Dianna.
