The things we report are not facts because we report. When we state the opinions of others or affirm our own beliefs we do not establish faith. The gods we seek, worship and create demonstrate the range of human experience and enlightenment. Government and the lack of it have equally brought us to the brink of extinction quite apart from the many gods we revere. As we have seen, there are no yet to be discovered books, visions, dreams or wisdom sayings that will change the direction of earth’s kingdoms and nations. Sounds negative? So does work, play, law, justice, man, woman, feast, famine, birth and death. So let’s keep our thinking and belief strictly in their silos.

Kings will always tax their subjects and leave their children untouched, and fools will always build bigger barns for their own pleasure.

And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?” (Matthew 17:25b, NASB)

But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. (Luke 12:20-21, NASB)
