Scientists tell us that the human mind can store as many as 600 memories a second in a lifetime of 75 years with the slightest strain. That works out to 1,419,120,000,000 memories! When memories becomes flabby, lack of mental exercise (more than advancing years) is usually the reason. See Psalm 103:2
“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?
