I have heard many saying in my life time. Some of them have been real and some fiction. But all have been believe for a while most times because they were said often. People were repeating the sayings so they took on a life of its own. Then when the saying was proved wrong or a new saying came along, people believed the new saying. It seems that people get bored easily. This is an unfortunate state of matter. There is too much information being passed around. Oh yes, we are in the age of information where everything is known instantly. I am not faultless in this matter. I have been sucked into this bubble too. But what I have found is that truth doesn’t have the same impact anymore. This doesn’t affect me like they used too. And that is disturbing. How can you tell what is real or what is fiction? What is the yardstick to use to tell the difference? I have found that people want what is real rather than fiction. Many times their own lives depend on the truth. And the opposite is just as true. I have seen people in lala land, because they don’t want to face the truth. The truth is what we need to live our lives to the fullest. And the truth isn’t relative. When you die it is a truth. It is nonnegotiable. Getting old is a truth. It seems silly to me how people will spend all of their money to try and stop aging. And companies cater to this obsession. Again, you have only so much time. You can only spend your time in this world. Then what are you going to do?
I read through the bible every year and l know it real it’s given me strength to face my struggles sense the on going of our friend Bob Hensley, the word of God has helped me more than anything else. That’s my sermon for the day. Peggy Byrd
