Chef Anthony Bourdain Dead

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain apparently committed suicide yesterday in France.

It is a sad thing. Celebrities seem to have the world but often it comes with soul emptiness.

Mark 8:36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

I stopped watching him when it became obvious he couldn’t handle Trump being president.

Too bad. He used to be so funny. Turned so miserable.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.

He definitely was a liberal.

He could have done much in continuing to live and use all his money in worthwhile endeavors to help people, instead of doing what he did. Now he has a bigger problem in explaining to Almighty God why he so callously threw away the life he was given.

I echo what Reformed said about soul emptiness. For over two years I myself went through a like turmoil as Mr. Bourdain, but God was my steadfast companion and I persevered day by day and emerged a stronger person. Today my continued daily prayer life keeps me on a level plane in coping with everything that happens to me in this world.

May God have mercy on Mr. Bourdains soul.

Why is it even news that this guy killed himself? Never heard of him.

Movin' on.

He was popular among those who watched culinary news travel shows.

Andrew Zimmern as well who eats really strange stuff including crunching down on live insects!

Suicide is the most selfish thing you could do when you leave young children to grapple with it. He left an 11 yo daughter. Kate Spade, whose daughter is 13, even had the audacity to tell her daughter to ‘ask Daddy’. Yeah, let’s cast aspersions on the remaining parent on the way out of her parental responsibilities. Children usually blame themselves because they can’t understand why they were left.
