Over at [CNN.com](http://www.cnn.com), there are some [photos posted](http://www.cnn.com/interactive/world/0502/gallery.tsunami.photos/frameset.exclude.html) about a couple who were vacationing when the Tsunami hit Thailand. From the website:
>John and Jackie Knill of Vancouver, British Columbia, pose at a resort in Khao Lak, Thailand, on December 12, 2004. The couple were killed when the December 26 tsunami struck the resort. Their digital camera was found, and though the camera was destroyed, searchers were able to recover photos of the tsunami from its memory card.
The photos are dramatic and they demonstrate the amount of warning that people had right before the Tsunami hit the shore. Granted, this wave must have been moving quickly, but I have to wonder that this couple had enough sense to take pictures of the dramatic event, but didn’t manage to escape the water.
It’s a terrible tragedy, but it makes me think of how sin works in my life. How many times have I realized that I was in the first phases of a temptation but instead of turning and running away. I just grab my camera and start taking pictures. “Wow! Look at that!”
