Youth dies at Christian music festival

CNN has the story on 16 year-old Elizabeth K. Mohl, of Neenah, WI who died Saturday after a ride she was on at Lifest failed.

Winnebago County Deputy Coroner Chuck Hable said Sunday that a crane hoists a person or people in a sling, and that at the top someone inside pulls a ripcord. That drops the person or people, and they swing back and forth.
Witness Brian Childers of Kenosha, Wisconsin, said that two people went up in the ride, and that when the release was pulled he heard a snapping sound. One person fell, and the other remained swinging, he told the Oshkosh Northwestern.

Mohl died in surgery several hours later.
One of the biggest reminders of God’s sovereignty comes from a girl attending the festival, “You never know when God’s going to take someone.”
Remeber the Mohl family in your prayers today.
