What We Pray For

A farmer came running home one day with news.
"Did you hear, my wife?  There is a rumor in town that the Messiah is coming this year.  Woe as me!  What will we do?  I have so much invested in the farm, rebuilt the house and cultivated the fields.  Now we will have to leave everything behind and go."
"Don't worry, my husband," his wife consoled him.
"We Jews have gone through so much suffering.  We had a Pharaoh, a Haman and the good good Lord helped get rid of them.  I am sure that he will also help us get rid of the Messiah too!"

When times are bad we wish for better days.  When times are good we forget what we once dreamed of.

“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?
