CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 8, 2024
LET’S CONSIDER SOMETHING OTHER THAN POLITICS TODAY, OK?
IF YOU KEEP UP WITH CULTURE, YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE ACTOR AL PACINO, AMONG WHOSE WHOSE MOST FAMOUS ROLES IS “THE GODFATHER.”
PACINO, WHO IS 84 YEARS OLD, RECENTLY HAD A HEALTH EMERGENCY IN HIS HOME WHEN HIS HEART STOPPED. PARAMEDICS WERE IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND FORTUNATELY FOR HIM HE WAS REVIVED.
WHAT IS INTERESTING IS HIS COMMENT TO THE NEW YORK TIMES: “I DIDN’T SEE THE WHITE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. THERE’S NOTHING THERE…IT SOUNDS GOOD TO SAY I DIED ONCE. WHAT IS IT WHEN THERE’S NO MORE.”
AN OBSERVATION: PERHAPS PACHINO DIDN’T SE ANY WHITE LIGHT BECAUSE WITHOUT CHRIST HE IS HEADED FOR A PLACE OF DARKNESS.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE SOVIET COSMONAUT YURI GAGARIN, WHO SAID HE LOOKED FOR GOD IN SPACE, DIDN’T SEE HIM AND CONCLUDED THERE IS NO GOD.
AMERICAN ASTRONAUT JACK LOUSMA SAID HE SAW GOD EVERYWHERE IN SPACE. I WOULD ADD THAT YOU FIRST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO RECOGNIZE HIM. THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING THE GLORY OF GOD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
