Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods

The office secretary at a large church in Washington DC where the President of the United States frequently worships has an annoying task to perform.  Many people call the church to ask whether the president is expected for services on Sunday.  The secretary developed an answer to such callers: "I cannot promise that the president will be there, but I can promise that God will be there.  That should be reason enough for coming."  -R. Ralph Simon

Odd how we confuse people with God.  Perhaps there is good reason to still have the First Commandment!

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
