Wrong Solution
June 26, 2017
I puzzled to see a woman in the next swimming pool lap lane wearing huge sunglasses. Not goggles, sunglasses. We paused at the same time. I asked her about her glasses. She said they prevented glare. “But they’re not helping today,” she said. “They’re just fogging over.” And she continued her swim in her sun glasses. I tried to understand. Yes, one wall is a huge window with delightful sunshine on some days.
Her solution did not match her problem. I’m reminded of people following false religions today. They realize a deeper need for a firm foundation. They embrace a belief system that requires sacrifice, marginalizing one gender, and loyalty to a dead human.
They could follow a man, Jesus, God in human form, who conquered death, values all people, and brings real light.
