There’s an awful lot of interest and attention on zombies these days. I don’t get the attraction, but then movies, videos, and TV shows don’t tend to reflect my preferences. So, I guess I’m in the minority. Still…what’s so intriguing about dead people walking amongst the living seeking to eat them? Life is beautiful. Death is a curse. It reminds me of a verse in the Bible, “why do you seek the living among the dead?”

Why do you suppose there is so much attraction to the “dark side” of life? Do you think there’s any chance of that lasting forever? Do you think having the light from the Son casts too many foreboding shadows?

Maybe it’s like Jesus said in the book of John: “...the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil.“

Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could simply start loving his neighbor as himself? (hopefully you understand this applies to females, too) Wouldn’t it be great if everyone could simply say, “the hurting in my family, or my business, or my relationships with friends ends with me”? Wouldn’t it be great if we’d all simply “do unto others as we’d have done unto us”? Come on! How difficult can it be?

I guess it’s too simple-minded and, at the same time, too difficult to overcome our disdain for our fellow human beings. So, I guess there’s no chance at all of avoiding the powerful destruction found in the book of The Revelation. But you know what?

I’ll bet God wishes all that destruction wouldn’t come true. I’ll bet He wishes we’d stop looking for the living among the dead.

Stay tuned…
