Hebrews 2:10-12:
"In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but You will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But You remain the same, and Your years will never end."

I hope NLers will do their best to protect themselves from the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus. Wash your hands. Use lots of hand sanitizer. Teenagers should stop all kissing. Don't shake hands with strange people like our teaching team. You know the drill.

The news about H1N1 sounds cautioning-- for good reason. And, every time I hear it, I'm reminded of how vulnerable we are all the time in this world. C.S. Lewis once made the point that war does not change the statistics on death one iota. Each life is always vulnerable. Dangers like war and viruses simply remind us of our reality.

Dangers also remind us that we are not made for this world. We are made for a world that is safe, invulnerable, and secure. Days like this make me thankful for the certainty of The Day we're made for.
