Now that I seem to have found an easy way to upload photos onto my blog, it's really easy to avoid putting any thoughts down, but rather just to show images.  In Losing Our Virtue,  David F. Wells comments on the cultural shift from words as the primary means of communication to images as the primary means.  It is interesting to compare this shift in light of John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  God has used words to communicate His message of redemption to us in Scripture, and He chose to do so before there were historical means of recording images.   It is also interesting to note that idols historically have always been images. '

I'm not condemning the use of pictures, and I intend to continue to use them--I'm just musing on my personal temptation to rely on images to record our life, and the accompanying mental lazilness....

Cheers!
