Specialists

Good morning everyone!!! Yes, a great day in the Lord Jesus Christ!!! YEA! Have you noticed how things have spiraled into specialists since, oh, about the 70's. Remember when we used to go to the local doc to get well. A one stop does all. We went to a service station to get gas, oil change, mechanic work, and, of course, a coke and candy bar or chips (that was all they had)and your oil checked, windows washed, tires checked, etc. We went to a grocery store to buy food only (flour sacks for dresses or shirts). A drug store (back then Rx's) to get personal products and prescriptions. Go to the movie to see westerns (John Wayne, Roy Rogers, etc) or a comedy (Jerry Lewis, 3 stooges, etc) and the cost was 25 or 50 cents, AND there was only 1 movie and 1 showing.
Today we have specialist everywhere. A special doc for your toe, foot, leg, hip, arm, head, gasto....whatever! Now we go to a "convenience store" for what? Gas, snacks of all sorts, even sandwiches or pizza. And, no they don't care for your car. Want an oil change? Go to the specialist, Quick Lube, Tune & Lube, etc. Grocery stores now specialize in lots of things. At a grocer store you can: bank; buy deli food; flowers; toys; pharmacy (old Rx); quick frozen foods; and of course food. Now when we go to a movie we have to make a choice, R, PG13, PG, G : R which means violence, sex, and language; PG13 not as much violence, sex, and language; PG just a little bit of violence, sex and language; or G which means animated (my favorite) Madagascar, Happy Feet, etc. So what do we get out of all this, and where are you going Johnny? Hurry up, I have to get to work!!! Well, cool yer jets Turbo!! I am getting there. The more we specialize, the more it cost, the more we work, the more we become specialized...which costs more, so we work more, so we........wow! Are we on a merry-go-round! Everything has changed and gone South!! NO, not everything! From Exodus 14:13 "And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day;......" all the way to Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night." Salvation is still free, it costs no more today than in ancient times, all we have to do is reach out and ask for it. Today, put on your coat of Jesus Christ and go forth proudly. You are a child of the great King, the ruler of all the universe, King of kings. Go forth proudly. Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
