August 22, 2007

Good morning! The morning is cool, but yesterday was hot. The views in Denver were obscured by the dust and pollution yesterday, so we missed out on that. It is interesting that we want to see as far as possible in this life. Humans have invented all manner of objects to help us see farther, smaller, differently, or more, and yet we often miss what is right in front of us. Do you suppose Jesus could see what was coming when he told the parable of the beam and mote? I am certain that he knew quite well how much we would desire to see more during this age. In classes children are connected over the Internet to other classes around the world to "see" some glimpse of life "over there". What is missed is the empathy; that cold Internet vision does not feel what the other person feels. Where are we going with all of this new "vision" we have? Will the so called reality shows of today give way to actual violence against persons on television? How long before the Coliseum returns in digital format to the television sets and computers of the world? Without a revival matching the Great Awakening in the 1700's, I would say "not long at all." Look to the Savior in these dark times and cling tightly to him.

Receive God's grace today!
