Jessica Ghawi and the Gospel

She survived the Toronto shooting, but was one of the 12 victims murdered in the Colorado Batman movie: Dark Knight Rising theater shooting. She blogged about her close encounter with death, how she took things for granted. As innocent as she had looked at her new found life, there's no sign of relationship with God. Was she being secretive about it? Or the more obvious denial of divine presence?

It cannot be any more obvious about the Gospel,

Luk 13:4  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 

It is convenient, settling and peaceful to just acknowledge that there is something missing, something we lack paying attention to in our lives. They even called this act of realization and admittance of our shortcoming as "being humble". I'd say the genuineness of humility can be proven by the next step...what are they going to do about it? And perhaps the mask of humility removed and pride surfaced.
