Stay Awake!

A pastor told a story that allegedly took place in a church in his denomination. Pastor got up and delivered a fire and brimstone sermon, railing against the sins of those created with flesh and blood. At one point he said lets put it to a vote: All of those who are against sin….stay seated. The entire congregation remained seated, and you could hear a pin drop. The reverend then said….all those who support sin….stand up.
All of a sudden, some shmendrick who had fallen asleep during the sermon, jumped up, looked around, and said “Reverend, I don’t know what we’re voting on, but it looks like you and I are the only ones for it!!!

“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?
