At a church gathering two men sat across from one another. "What a wonderful letter we received from you the other day!" said one to the other. Their wives, sitting beside them, nodded to each other. Yes, it was quite a lovely letter, they cooed. "Why just the other day," the man continued, "we received quiet a different letter from someone similar to you. Your letter, however, was so heart felt and real." The wives continued to nod; yes it was quite meaningful, they thought. So the four sat congratulated each other on their obvious superiority.
Nearby another man's voice rose as he spoke of the urgency of the end. "We see the signs all around us." he said. "Others will be fooled because they do not know the signs." Those around nodded in agreement. They felt better because they knew the truth.
All around the room people felt quite satisfied with their stirred hearts. They were, after all, very good people.
Yet one, unseen, stood in the corner and wept.

Oh to be like the one in the corner... Lord, give us the realization of your soon coming and the real state we're in!
