This is the first time, in days, that I've been online for any length of time beyond checking emails. I have to say that the break really cleared my head and made me realize I was wasting far too much time on here.
If you want to see the decay of society, you need merely to log on. The depravity, the decadence, the vile voices to be heard. And you needn't look far, you merely have to read the headlines. Has it ever occurred to you folks that we're walking right into the pages of the book of Revelation, and that God's right?
I watched a special about the immorality of Rome and Pompeii and how many believe the devastation of Pompeii to be divine intervention. It spooked me out a bit because a volcano's eruption is hellfire and brimstone, or as close as we can come to it in the human realm. Pompeii's horrid ways and subsequent destruction are exactly what we're living through now, and all we're waiting for is our devastating eruption of hellfire and brimstone. We brought it upon ourselves and it is coming. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even this century, but it is coming. (And no, not in December 2012, people!)
And this is exactly why....
I would like to be happy in the time we have left. I would like to be peaceful and joyful in the time we have left. We're not going to find it on the internet, my friends. Oh no. We'll find it in a simple, but good deed we've done for a neighbor. A shed tear of joy when we witness a miracle happen (whether it's small or big doesn't matter, just that it IS a miracle) Those moments...they make life whole. They make it better. And you can't find that on the internet. You can find bits and pieces of it, for sure, but you'll never find all of it by staring at a computer monitor, lying to yourself and being lied to by the person on the other end of that connection.
We as a people have become so disenchanted with one another, that entire families don't even eat dinner together anymore....they tweet each other....in the same house. It would be a shock if you people would actually sit at a table together and share each other's hopes, dreams, fears, and pains together...as families should.
I've come to realize why older TV and Music entice me. For all of the decadence and vile behavior exhibited in the '60s and '70s...we still had wholesome entertainment that the WHOLE family could enjoy. Sure, it's outdated and hokey by today's standards, but the people in front of the cameras, delivering those lines...BELIEVED in what they were saying. They believed in the hope for a better tomorrow, a glorious and peaceful co-existence. They taught us things we never knew, they brought us joy when we had none, we hurt when they hurt, and we shared it all....as a family.
The computer has broken down the fabric of society, and made us dependent upon it. God help us all when the time comes and technology cannot do anything for us except be a paperweight. If they were to press the reset button right now, the world would be thrown into utter chaos, the peoples of the world would fall apart. We don't need a reset button, we just need some God given common sense. How hard is it to think these days? Seriously, people. Your computer can be a wonderful companion device in a time of need (not all, some) just don't make it your life.
Go out and smell the fresh air for once. Go stand underneath that yellow ball in the sky (which, by the way, is called the Sun. Just FYI.) and soak in it's beauty. Watch the grass grow, watch paint dry, just get outside and enjoy the simple pleasures. And do it all with someone you love. Share yourself with your mate, share every piece of yourself and do it with love.
Burt Bacharach said it best "What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. No, not just for some, but for everyone." And it's true, because the Bible says "GOD...IS LOVE"
What the world needs now is God. What the world needs now is love.
Love God, love one another.
Don't waste it.
