I've been thinking

All this week I have had this thought about the recent terrorist attacks.
The first few days I found myself glued to the newly purchased TV,
(bought just for the happenings) and fear gripped me. I kept wondering
what next and still do. I grab hold of each comment made by someone
that says more is to come, or that the troops are leaving or where they
caught who. Its scarey.
But this week I have been thinking about how I would feel if I didn't have
a TV or a computer. If I didn't get news. Would my danger be any greater
in this state of not knowing ? Can I do anything to change what I hear ?
I have many plain friends who have no radio, no TV, they don't buy newspapers
often, they might have their own business and stay in their shop all day working
and not get a chance to talk to many people.
They are not worried about what they do not know. They are not looking for
news of more doom and destruction. They are not worried about anthrax
and such.
Maybe its better to know less.

Matthew 6 :34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
