It is hard to imagine sometimes why each day can seem so mundane. The world has come to be a bleached soulless place with nothing being the call word and nothing being the signal and nothing doing. God has allowed glimpses of what beauty we've forgotten to catch us off guard occasionally and we think "oh, there was life there must be life and I must find it!" But the mediocrity of life quickly seeps back in like muddy water into a footprint in bog. The truth is what it has always been and why does it seem to get so hard to cognitively bring it to mind. There are dark forces at work and each of them work together to destroy any feelings of joy, any that there may be of peace, any of satisfaction, any of charity, or love. We distract ourselves with anything the dissatisfying programs on television, the movies that continue to amaze us with how unoriginal they are, the books that have reached beyond what made classic literature what it is to find more mediocrity, and the music that has reduced itself to basal urges accompanied by beats that a toddler could outdo on a nice cooking pan with a spoon. So what can we do to rectify this terrible state that we have fallen to? Only one thing comes to mind. If we do not succumb to the primal urges that draw us to waste countless hours online and waste countless hours doing nothing running errands for things we don’t need; we can turn into vegetables that have no purpose and could not recognize one if one were to bite us in the face. Pray people God still hears us God still answers us and prayer is the one weapon we have to keep us from composting in this heap of human waste we find ourselves in.
