My fiftieth birthday in November. I'm getting all introspective and maybe a little grumpy!!
The changes I've seen in my life time are incredible. Its not just technology or the way folks dress. Its more about the way people think about things and look at the world.
In one respect I feel very isolated and left behind. For me God remains everything. I pray all the time. Attend Church every day. Basically for me God is my life. I think as it says it scripture, 'You shall, love the Lord your God with your whole strength and your whole heart and your whole being'. I guess this sums me up. I revolve in my little life like a tiny moon round God's sun.
Yet this is not an age that accepts God. Explicitly or implicitly they have left God far,far behind. An antique. An embarassing maiden aunt. A relic of the past.
Oh maybe I'm rambling. I don't know. But somethimes, it seems to me, for even the people who still go to Church its often a form and a convention.
Ha! How cynical I sound. But I'm not really. There is always hope. It's us that need God. Not God that needs us. A springtime will come when men will see the need for God again. A rebirth of faith. I hope this twilight time of faithlessness ends soon. That I live to see the new dawning. A dawning that, however will be bought at the price of great pain.
