There simply was no frame of reference to even imagine that such a thing could exist. If we think back further, to the change of the last millennium, things get even tougher. Although there were opulent castles stocked with solid gold dishes, jewels and silks, the occupants didn t have the simply luxury a hot bath. For all the material changes our world has seen, however, the human condition remains surprisingly the same. People still fall in love, still see each new birth as a miracle and, despite the telescopes that bring them close, still marvel at the stars.
Fathers still struggle with sons and mothers with daughters.
Hearts still break and mend, and death still claims us all although we can count on a few good more years than our ancestors did. But even if they re smiling back at us from some newly colonized planet light years away, even if they re abolishing old age, traveling like Star Trek officers, and have robots to do all the housework, they ll still be dreaming the same dreams. And they, too, will wonder what the future has in store. At this festive season when hearts are drawn home, my husband and I ask your readers to pray for us in hopes that we may one day know what home truly means. We purchased a newly constructed home and moved into Warren County at the end of February this year.
