Before the inauguration of a President who doesn't think it important to work with Congress, and doesn't think the Supreme Court can make decisions ...there was someone who had almost become President, who was talking to school children. It was a long speech, so instead of paraphrasing, I will attempt to be more accurate by listing part of what he said:

"There are some things about our world that you know that older people don't know ....in a period of rapid change, the old assumptions don't work anymore because they are out-of-date ...weighed down with the old assumptions of the past ...(yet, I/you) know you can gain a lot from them (older people) ...but in a period of rapid change, young people know some things ...parents try to tell their children the right thing ...our generation couldn't answer that question" (then discussing what is considered a crisis, what the President will be working on, three of the biggest are mentioned: global warming, the economy, and war. But what do you think is talked about most? I'll give you a hint by what he says) ...."It's invisible, tasteless, and odorless."                                                                                                                              
And that is why it is so feared? Well, I believe that the beginning of wisdom is fear of our invisible God ...but that isn't what he was talking about. What he was talking about, I agree is tasteless ...but I disagree that it is odorless; rather I think it stinks. Our younger people do want to know things, but that shouldn't include discarding the old Bible ....or keeping the Bible as a good piece of writing, but discarding its truths.

 Everyone likes to come up with ideas ...and sharing them has done many wonderful things for our world, but when we share what is inaccurate, that becomes troublesome.  The News has become entertainment, but more often persuasion ...especially since studies have shown most people now get their news from the internet.  And with many claimed injustices, this unique media often masks the real issues while creating a blame game ...building a foundation to recruit many to join the ranks. They don't reason for solutions, nor attempt to solve anything.   To be a participant or member in this elite organization does not require much.  

It's like going to a job interview, and you're asked, "What are you qualified to do?"

You reply, "I'm angry!"

You are promptly congratulated, "You're hired!" 


(Entertainment engages, and sometimes enrages ...often a diversion from the life we may otherwise live.  Mix it with music ...that can tame the beast, or bring out the beast. Add desperate pleas, and tears of injustice within the graphic depiction ...we can often be persuaded to follow anything, even away from truth itself.   I ask, "Where do we place God in all this?")
