Good Tuesday morning! Melting, melting, the world is all melting snow. Much of our "snow pack" will be gone today; icebergs will head south, or north, west, and east depending upon how the street is sloped. Yes, say goodbye to the snow as the temps are expected to be in the 60's today and tomorrow. Weather changes everything.
Does that last statement seem a bit over the top to you? Quite a few exceptions to that statement probably came to your mind. How about this one? "People are basically good!" We have read or listened to that one many times in our short lives, and repetition seems to be at odds with something. The Bible says a couple of things on that matter, such as: there is none good, no not one; and, for all have sinned and fallen short of God's glorious standard. Apparently the world and the Bible are at opposite ends on this one. Are we basically good at heart or not? I don't have to answer that one for you. My arguments will be accepted or rejected depending upon what you believe already. For the matter isn't how well a politician or you or me can argue the point, but in what the person chooses to believe. You can believe Jesus and His holy word, and come to realize that all of us are sinners in need of the one true savior. Or, we can believe the world and think that our basic goodness will save us. The Bible is very clear on what will happen to those who think that they can be good enough to save themselves. Of course, those who reject the Gospel will not care much about what the Bible says. We can pray for them and continue living the Good News.

I have the answer to the question: why do we have hands? You might think of things like: to build civilizations, to feed ourselves, to grab fruit off trees, and other inconsequentials, but the real answer is to skritch kitties. Yup, I have one firm vote for that answer right now. Your dog might, of course, beg to differ.
