A lodging place....really

OK, its a nice picture! But!!! Whoever put the "NOT SHOPPED" into it really says a lot about our society.  I wonder what it takes to really be believed today?  How far has our society slipped when something unusual has to be certified as being truthful?  When I saw this, I thought of the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, and I think you will find this an interesting quote.

Jeremiah 9:1-5 (WEB)
1) Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2) Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
3) They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me, says Yahweh.
4) Take heed everyone of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
5) They will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

God's chosen people had made the wrong choice and its wasn't for truth.  They had corrupted the land and all the people with their actions.  Sound familiar?  Open your front door and look around!  Spin doctors abound in America!  The truth can hardly be recognized anymore!!  Its no wonder the "NOT SHOPPED" had to be placed on the picture.  I wonder if this home on a rock could be the place in the wilderness Yahweh was looking for???
