Human beings are a little like electric bulbs. A little child found it electric bulb in the street and he brought it home to his mother. The mother said, ”Throw it away.” “Why?” “It is broken,” said his mother. “But it doesn't look broken!” Said the child. “It is broken on the inside,” she said. That’s what God in prayer do to us. They make us good on the inside. An electric bulb can give light but it has to be connected! So plug-in and you will shine and be beautiful before God before man! -Rabbi Nathan Zelizer
“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?
