An obedient people

One command humans have steadily kept is the one to be fruitful and multiply. I just watched a show on animal planet that told of how something like 24 rabbits introduced to Australia turned into 60,000 in six years or some wild number like that. We humans are not far behind.

It seems like everyone is having babies. My manager at work just had a baby last week. As did my dad and stepmom. Today at church I found out a great couple just had their baby last night. My cousin is due in July and I just found out my brother and his wife are expecting. (That excites me!)

Kudos to all the moms and husbands (in most cases). The announcements of pregnancy and birth make me excited for the parents and new child, but also bring about a longing for the child to grow up and learn the fear of the Lord, to serve and love Christ.

I ascribe to a linear view of history (moving towards a telos or end as opposed to endless repetition) but there is nothing like new babies to make me think of the cyclical nature of life. There was a time when I was not but a symbol of potential. Naked I came and naked I will leave. If I get 70 or 80 years, I will be amazedl, I just hope they are spent for the glory of our God.

Talk about a rabbit trail.
