Where Do We go From Here?

Okay now, let me get this straight, we don't need our laptops any more.  We don't need to go to the movies anymore.  We don't need to go to the library anymore.  We don't----we don't!!!  I'll come back to this in just a sec.

Did you know there is a car manufacturer (probably more than one) working on developing a car that can think for the driver?  In other words, the driver (him or her) will not have to steer the vehicle, he (she) will not have to apply the brakes, and he (she) won't have to worry about the speed.  Is this not amazing?  What will they try next? 

With the "we don'ts" and the "we won'ts" which we are being offered to accept, what are WE going to be doing?  Think about it!  With the advent of the Apple iPad hitting the market and costing anywhere from $500 to $800+, you can read a book, take in a movie, and do all of your computer work on one little device.  What ever happened to differentiating between WANTS and NEEDS?

Maybe we needed a good 5 cent cigar at one time in our history, but our needs today seem to be a little more monumental.  We NEED all of the money being spent on frivolity to be rechanneled  into feeding the hungry in this country.  We NEED to stop depleteing jobs in this country by breaking the taxpayers' backs.
We NEED to get back to using good old common sense with regards to putting this country back on an even keel.  If and when this will happen God only knows.

There surely is one thing to be extremely thankful for as we celebrate the resurrection of the man named Jesus on this Easter day, God does know.
