Dream-world

The handsome cowboy is shot in the chest, and goes into a deep coma. He tosses and turns and sweats like a pro in the last quarter. He is delirious, and, after three days, awakens to see that a beautiful young woman has been sitting at his bedside. She has been faithfully wiping his brow, waiting for the moment when he opened his eyes.

That scenario is often played out in movies, but have you ever seen a movie where the faithful nurse is 450 pounds, and toothless with warts? That would be a killer at the box office. Or have you ever seen advertisements for women’s fashion clothes, modeled by homely women? It rarely happens. Or have you noticed that "fountain of youth" creams are always rubbed into the faces of young and beautiful models? Perhaps you have noticed that in beer or cigarette advertisements, the drinkers and smokers are usually young, good-looking and healthy.

In the movies the hero always gets his man. In the real world, the “greatest nation on earth” can’t even find the number one terrorist. But don’t be disillusioned. There’s a new world coming for those that love God. In that world, the ideal will be the reality. Nothing will be ugly. Not a thing. Perfection will be the norm. Of course, Mr. Skeptic will be quick to say that such a world would be boring. Sorry, in a perfect world, there won’t even be boredom. You say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. There are millions of us who are waiting for that which is perfect. Evil will be banished forever. We will "inherit the earth." We will have peace on earth, and good will to men. Forever. I hope some day you join with us, and the world will be as one.
