Merry Christmas! The puddy tat wants me to stay home today, but there is one more workday left in this week. Have you ever tried typing with a cat in your lap? Perhaps you have wondered why little animals need attention from us at all. The thought came to me today that our pets may be seeking some temporary relief from the curse of sin that is upon the world. We do the same thing in pursuing happiness through television programs, movies, shows, shopping for fun, hobbies, sexual acts and fantasies, and even daydreaming. Sin tries to fool us into thinking that it has the answers, but that is lie from the master of lies. For every good or harmless hobby there is a sinful one which seems more seductive. For each pleasure given by married spouses to each other there is some sexual perversion offered by the world. Paul tells us in Romans that all of creation groans for release from the curse, and that is true of all that we see. Stars explode at the end of a violent life, the earth erupts occasionally through volcanoes and earthquakes, and even the weather often brings great violence. The signs of the curse are everywhere for us to see and all of it should point us to the great healer who came to earth to save us, Jesus Christ.
If you are traveling today, have a wonderful and very merry Christmas!
