Which Reminds Me

Years ago someone was making a point about books that I read that they did not approve of. Someone was saying that I had read "The Diary of Anne Frank," which to them proves only that a sick mind such as hers deserved to die, and perhaps would suggest that anyone who read the book also may deserve to die for putting that in your head. Hmmm. To that I can only say that we all probably deserve to be dead. Who hasn't read something that maybe wasn't all that wholesome and then regretted having put those ideas in one's head? Just flip on the TV and your ears may be regaled with negativities and sad stories of tawdry affairs. So that was weird. In many words there is not going to be a lack of sin. So I don't see how you can surgically draw these lines as to who should live or die without making some huge mistake and also we remember where it says that the rain of judgment falls alike on the just and the unjust and know that we can't make life fair by trying. We have to trust that God is in control of the big picture. We sort of think that we ought to be concerned about everything and then we remember that we can only put one foot in front of the other. Time is short and then we die and the next generation will have to figure out its own thing.
