Paul quotes Isaiah saying that the hearts of the people have become dull. Are the hearts of our nation dull? I look around the train this morning, its almost 8. Most people are either sleeping, reading the paper or typing on their blackberry (I make that list!). I'm curious about the ones who are staring out the window. Are they thinking about all the "stuff" they have to do today? Or are they lost in thought; dreaming about the bigger things in life.Oddly enough, this same concept was echo'd tonight in the Soup, Song, Story and Sacrament in the video we watched called Sunday. I love when things come full circle.
One man might be planning the next vacation with his wife and kids. The woman at the far end of the train has a smile like she just figured out the next iphone. One young guy might be wondering whether to get light whip on his grande non-fat mocha.
We're not dull, not at all. Yes, we might be disengaged all too often, but our hearts are always ready to burn at the slightest spark. Paul knows this. That is why he says the things he does, to provide the spark.
Bring it on Proverbs!
