A Pumpkin is Like a Person
















How is a pumpkin like a person?

This is still one of my favorite illustrations of salvation: A child who wants to carve a pumpkin carefully picks out a squash, scoops out the seeds and slop, throws out the mess, and cleans up the pumpkin.

God picks us out, too, and scoops out our sin and throws it away until we're washed clean and new.

This concept is beautifully related in the Christian Children's Book My Happy Pumpkin.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.

I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
