Today's tower of Babel is the self-glorification of individuals who market themselves to be superstars, kings and gods based on talent that they've borrowed from God. In reality, they are blind thieves that attempt to rob God in broad daylight and have the nerve to call it "swag" or "game". Meanwhile, we the consumer, the customer, the junkie have been duped into believing that we actually know these people. We don't. We write the checks though, we buy their products, we advance the gospel of "ME" and like mindless clones we never question the possibility that they just might be merely human. Fight the power.
I don’t think we truly understand what divorce is and why God hates it. For example, if I gave you the Merriam Webster’s definition of divorce, the action or instance of legally dissolving a marriage , more than likely you'll find that definition insufficient. If you are divorced or your parents are divorced, you know that definition lacks depth and substance. It’s like a survivor of a devastating hurricane describing his experience as “I witnessed a tropical cyclone with winds of 156 mph that was accompanied by heavy rain thunder and lightning.” You know that surviving a category 5 hurricane is bit more involved than announcing a weather report. (Ask anyone who survived Hurricane Katrina.) And yet every survivor’s story is unique and personal. I especially believe we don’t get what divorce does to our children. I’m not saying that I completely understand it either. I’ve never been divorced, (not even close), but I do know how it affected me as a kid.
Deep!
