Some things will never change

Jimmy Durante (left) and Buster Keaton, WOW! It has been many decades since this silent flick was made, but even this still photograph is funny. We don't make silent pictures any more and regular (low def) TV is passe, but funny is still funny, no matter what form its in. Soon 3-D will be all the rage and who knows what or even if will have TV by the middle of the century. Its nice to know that some things will never change, as the book of Malachi tells us.

Mal 3:1-6
(1) "Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!" says Yahweh of Armies.
(2) "But who can endure the day of his coming? And who will stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like launderer's soap;
(3) and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.
(4) Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to Yahweh, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
(5) I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Armies.
(6) "For I, Yahweh, don't change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

People sin, people hurt, people search for meaning in life. That's just the way it is and that will NEVER, EVER change. Neither does God. But I can't help from wondering... Since we are made in the image and likeness of God... Does God ever need a haircut? Maybe Jimmy Durante does have a job in heaven after all????
