I opened my Bible at random before meditation today and my finger fell on Genesis 27: 15. “Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.”
We all know the story about Jacob’s fame and fortune thanks to Rebekah’s duplicity; or let us call it dishonesty. Is this why all of man’s history is based on duplicity and when extreme, spreads to wars? I won’t blame Rebekah because man’s quest for more has everything to do with it. Duplicity and greed seem to run our world.
I fear our greed is leading us to another huge international war. Those with money and power want more; they feel that their mansions and yachts are not as luxurious as “the other’s” are. They weren’t gifted with a personal luxury plane of their own.
Jealousy and greed are the fore-runners of great international tragedy, We must all pray that these forces of personal lust do not cause the earthquake that shatters the dreams of the other.
But —– call me an idiot; call me a fanatic; call me a man of too many dreams!!!!
But I believe that if we all turn our faces to Sol (our Sun) during the daylight hours and turn our faces to the billions of lights in the night sky, we will find God, or the name you call your all-mighty in the religion you practice; and in the clamor and noise of all the voices screaming the will of love and peace to Her (or Him if you prefer), God will hear the voice of a little three-year-old girl squatting by a stream with a small stick in her hand drawing a picture of her pet sheep in the mud, praying to God “please don’t let anyone hurt little Molly.” And God will hear her.

I am now 82! I was born in wartime. I have lived through six other wars, police actions, armed conflicts, etc. Call them what you will; people died, and not just soldiers. I pray for the soldiers and the victims on boths ides; all are brothers and sisters whom I love. We all share a deep Love from God together.
See the little girl in the middle; her life is too precious to harm. Let us Love!
