The Razor Is Not A Toy...

David enjoys getting shaved. He is quick to demand my attention to his head and face if I don't shave him often enough (in his opinion). The only problem is that David thinks the razor is a toy. He likes to smell it, he likes to run his fingers over it, etc. This can cause bleeding and a big problem if not dealt with immediately. Every day, at least once, I say to David, "Put the razor down; it is not a toy."

As a society, we act much like David does with the razor. We take useful tools and use them in inappropriate ways and then we wonder why our society is bleeding. The internet is a useful tool to find information and to share information; but too many use it for pornography, or some other detriment to our society. God has given us brilliant people who know how to make pharmaceuticals to help us when we are sick; but we have a generation of teenagers who are pill-popping addicts looking for the next high from our medicine cabinet.

These are just two examples of millions. If each of us would be careful with our lives and use the God-given tools and benefits we have the way they are intended, this world would be a better place.
