Alive???

April 5, 2008

Recently as we prayed about where to work with volunteers from Hawaii, we drove through Ibaragi prefecture. As we drove through the winding roads towards our destination we saw this huge statue rising up above the hills.  The closer we got the bigger it got. We stopped in the parking lot near it and walked toward it to get a closer look. In spite of its overpowering size, there was a coldness and lifelessness that permeated the air around it.

We were reminded of the psamlists words in Psalms where we are told idols have hands but can’t help, ears but can’t hear, mouths but can’t speak.
