INCREASED KNOWLEDGE - INCREASED FEAR?
The thing is that I like to know stuff... I want to know about all
kinds of stuff. I ask fifty million questions a day. This is not a crime. I don't think
it's wrong to be a student of Life. BUT really.. I think we have too much knowledge. I mean, SERIOUSLY.. it
all started with The Weather Channel. Yeah, we used to - back in the Dark Ages called The 70's... we used to just
have a glimpse of the weather.. we'd watch our local weather person - who was or was not a meteorologist - and we had
some basic information. We knew if we'd need an umbrella or not. Yup. THEN... we started to find
out what the weather was in Outer Botswanamozambia.. At first we didn't care, but then we realized that today's
weather in Outer Botswanamozambia would be the day after tomorrow's weather in our home town. All of
a sudden, we were watching the weather reports for the entire planet... all the time... and NOW we cannot leave without the
WEEKLY PLANNER. Now after watching a few hours of TV I am aware of the fact that 1 in 4 women my age
develop osteoporosis and there is a simple pill to protect me from that - HOWEVER- some side effects include death.....decreased
ability to breathe......lymphoma.....swelling......and alien voices in my head. I'd rather break my leg..
and deal with something archaic called a cast. Of course, there are warnings about cholesterol, heart disease,
prostrate problems and foot odor. We've got the reincarnation of the Three Stooges as our choice for
Commander in Chief......the Russians are making bombs again...and I now know that if an earthquake occurs in Tokyo, our economy
will fall with their skyscrapers. OH.. by the way.. our economy is not doing well......and... even if it was..
Global Warming is going to make the middle of Iowa become our next location for beachfront property. Thank
God I know that HE is in control.....and I am HIS child.. and nothing that comes upon this planet can take me away from the
eternal future He has for me. In the meantime, I will simply watch HGTV and read The Bible. Increased
knowledge of HIS authority always reduces my fear. He's got it all under control. AMEN
