Who cares?

I must not get out enough. Today's paper contained a whole article on ampersand. Know that word? I sure didn't. Turns out that even the spellcheck knows that word! It stands for this:& The article went on and on about where it came from and why it is used and who relates to it, etc.
I wondered, who cares? Were they just looking for an article to fill that spot on the paper? OK, so that was harsh. But really, beyond that brief piece of information, who really cares. It is not life changing.
It is the opposite of the tragic events in the south from the hurricane. Now that was life changing and frankly they need a miracle. In reality so does our country, our economy and way of life. I never knew who fragile our economy was until now. I bet most of the rest of the country didn't either. How wonderful that God is the God of miracles, available for just such a time as this.
This is a time to show the love of Christ in tangible ways. Giving resources,( samaritanspurse.org)praying for God to do a miracle in lives and for reaching out as you have opportunity, perhaps to the poor and disabled in your own town, if nothing else.
In light of what is at stake, who cares about ampersand?
