Yes, from rude ...to crude, and the mind filled with a sad naivety, which views others as being ignorant and intolerant. Their own acceptance of the wrong things leaves them striving for the pride of achieving these temptations, always readily within their reach. Everything seems so out-of-touch, they grasp onto what is available in abundance ...but, sadly abundantly problematic.

It creates a new culture of thinking ...along with the confidence, that comfortable status of, everybody is doing it!

John: Eric, I want you to meet my sister, Amy.

Eric: Hi, Amy, good to meet you!

John: Eric, I have a couple of bagels here, do you want one?

Eric: No, thanks.

John: Well, Amy says she can only eat half ...how about half a bagel?

Eric: Okay,

John: How are your classes going, Eric?

Eric: Okay, I'm through for the day.

John: Great, would you mind escorting Amy to the bus?  I have a meeting with the professor, and here he comes ...Amy's class is across campus.

Eric: Okay, see you later, John.

Amy: If you don't mind, I'd rather not take the bus.

Eric: (I must have intended to continue, as I typed Eric's name ...but, again, I have no idea where I was going with this.  In a way it's just like a TV show, that doesn't end ...and you have to tune-in next week. But, you don't see the next episode, so it ended there. In this case, no re-runs.  I will try to find my notes, but it's been a while, and I was asked to clean up my mess ...which included my notes.)

Okay, the notes appear to be gone ...and that is probably just as well.  I don't like to live in an ivory tower, with ignoring all that is going on in society.  Many of the wrongs that happen, are very wrong!

So, when I read about something, or hear about it on news ...well, I take it seriously.  And I often attempt to deal with it by writing ...though perhaps it would often be best just to pray about it. But, obviously we can't just dwell in that place forever. I believe in bringing the wrong to light ...but, I also believe we should mostly focus on the Light.  And that would be bringing it to Him ...in prayer.

I read in the Bible about Sodom ...and other horrific events. I try to learn from what I read ...inclusive of what is being told for me to learn, and how God directs us towards solutions.

Primarily, the solution is to first of all turn to Him.  That's where I am at this moment ...and I don't know what Eric and Amy were going to do.  I just remember she didn't get on the bus.  I don't know what Amy's aim was, nor what Eric's error was.  I guess, at this point I should be concerned more with you and me.  After all, when you read ...you are where I've been, and we are both real.

But, for what it's worth ...the last part of the blog remains, though I don't really know my point.  I just know that eventually, before I finished, I would have pointed to God.
