Like a Business

     Federal and state agents took down a sophisticated crime ring operating within the state of Georgia's prisons. There were 150 arrests and contraband valued at over $7 million. Drones were transporting drugs, weapons and cell phones in and out. There was a drone repair shop where authorities seized 50 drones. 

     The governor's office says more than 1,000 criminal charges have been filed against inmates, Dept. of Corrections staffers, and civilians. Many could face charges under the RICO act. Wow! 

Like a Day

     This is interesting for a man who lived to 120. Writing as if to God, "For a thousand years in your sight are like a day." Moses, (Psalm 90:4).

   Centuries later, Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "...the time is short. From now on...those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. I would like you to be free from concern...that you may live in undivided devotion to the Lord (1 Cor. 7:29-35).

     The author of our magazine column wrote, "Keep a loose grip on the nice things for they will soon be over. Bear with the not-so-nice things for they will soon be over." 

     She adds, "I always thought it would take longer to get old." Double that! 

     And we add: Whether our bodies die at age 2, 52 or 102 is not the most important fact. What matters most is where our souls go.
