Yesterday’s news item;

‘a great many birds are facing extinction in Canada.’

So what else is new?  The very fabric of this planet, its ecological system’s, and the natural habitat of animals and birds has been progressively undermined, ignored, or even fatally abused… for centuries by who else but us humans!

Arguably the so-called ‘industrial revolution’ which was supposed to deliver a life of ease to mankind; has instead been more responsible for bringing destruction to this beautiful planet, even threatening all life upon it.

Of course for the wealthy few and powerful it has indeed meant apparent ‘life of ease’, but definitely not true satisfaction, happiness, or contentment.  And for most of the remaining 99% or so of the world’s population what has it brought?

‘The answer my friends is written on the wind’, as the song well says.  Who can honestly say that industry and technology have truly improved the quality of life for the majority of earth’s populations today.?  In fact the very opposite is true!

How ironic and sad that what was generously provided for mankind’s benefit and enjoyment by his loving Benefactor has been contaminated, misused, and all but destroyed by the recipients!

Isn’t it time to honestly take stock of our true condition and make amends with our Creator?!
