“Nothing lasts forever …” a cliché statement that defines anything made by man. It is true; what we make will eventually fail. Our metal is subject to rust, or to wear out after continued use. Our clothing will become thin over time and will eventually give way to holes. That’s why I am very leery of computer-controlled, selfdriving vehicles. Iworkoncomputers. If they didn’t wear out and come to an end there would be no need for my job. I don’t want a computercontrolled vehicle, hurtling down the road at high speed in my direction to suddenly fail because of a computer malfunction. Not a good situation. Tires get old and blow out. Machines short-circuit and fail. Everything man makes, regardless how good it may be, will eventually become faulty.

Otherwise, the devil may devour a whole generation of future leaders.

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dublin graduate Kacey Howell has spent much of his adult life in big cities — Austin, Houston, New York. But now, as he looks ahead, he is excited to one day move back to Dublin and take over the operations of his family ranch, which has been in his family since 1886. “It’s sort of come full circle for me,” he said.

Hallelujah, God is Love (I John 4:8)! 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
