Good morning and welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Tuesday, June the 20th,

2020. Today's article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison

Forum. Since the wreckage of the Titanic was discovered in 1985, the site has been the subject

of endless fascination.

Now, the deep diving submersible Titan used to take people to see the wreck,

has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean with its passengers and crew aboard.

According to the Coast Guard, it lost contact with a surface vessel on Sunday morning

during a dive about 900 miles east of

Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The submersible holds five people and usually dives with a four-day

Six killed, dozens injured in spate of weakened mass shootings across U.S.

For the same reason, a Dutch court sentenced a soccer player to 18 months in jail after stabbing his cousin in the knee.

And for the same reason, a music festival in Washington State was canceled after a shooting at a nearby campground left two dead. We know from Genesis 127 that humans are each made in

God's image. Accordingly, there is something in us that cares intuitively and intrinsically

about what happens to other humans.

The English poet John Dunn of the late 16th and early 17th centuries was right.

Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind.
